Ah ... knowledge, one of the most fundamental thing in our life! arguably, it is the one that differentiate us from mere animals. Here are fantastic quotes about knowledge:
“The
only thing more expensive than education is ignorance.”
--
Benjamin Franklin
'We
are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. '
--
Benjamin Franklin
"Faith:
not wanting to know what is true."
--
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
"Our
ignorance is God; what we know is science."
--
Robert G. Ingersoll, "The Gods", 1872
"Religion
is based, I think, primarily and mainly upon fear. It is partly the
terror of the unknown and partly, as I have said, the wish to feel
that you have a kind of elder brother who will stand by you in all
your troubles and disputes.... A good world needs knowledge,
kindliness, and courage; it does not need a regretful hankering after
the past or a fettering of the free intelligence by the words uttered
long ago by ignorant men."
--
Bertrand Russel in his essay "Why I am not a Christian"
"Why
should we take advice on sex from the pope? If he knows anything
about it, he shouldn't!"
--
George Bernard Shaw
"If
knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we
can solve them."
--
Isaac Asimov
The
greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of
knowledge.
--
Stephen Hawking
