128. “We never cared for such useless things as knowledge. We only cared for truth. And our unsophisticated little hearts knew well where the Crystal Palace of Truth lay and how to reach it. But today we are expected to write pages of facts, while the truth is simply this: “There was a king.”” Rabindranath Tagore Knowledge, Truth, Simplicity, Cultural Critique, Innocence
131. “I am sure it is everyone's experience, as it has been mine, that any discovery we make about ourselves or the meaning of life is never, like a scientific discovery, a coming upon something entirely new and unsuspected; it is rather, the coming to conscious recognition of something, which we really knew all the time but, because we were unwilling to formulate it correctly, we did not hitherto know we knew.” W.H. Auden Self-discovery, Knowledge, Consciousness, Human Nature, Philosophical Insight
145. “The colleges of Edinburgh and Geneva as seminaries of science, are considered as the two eyes of Europe. While Great Britain and America give the preference to the former, all other countries give it to the latter.” Thomas Jefferson Education, Institutions, Knowledge, Europe, Cultural Significance
