He will therefore have to use what knowledge he can achieve, not to shape the results as the craftsman shapes his handiwork, but rather to cultivate a growth by providing the appropriate environment, in the manner in which the gardener does this for his plants.
Friedrich August von Hayek

To act on the belief that we possess the knowledge and the power which enable us to shape the processes of society entirely to our liking, knowledge which in fact we do not possess, is likely to make us do much harm.
Friedrich August von Hayek

You cannot simply put something new into a place. You have to absorb what you see around you, what exists on the land, and then use that knowledge along with contemporary thinking to interpret what you see.
Tadao Ando

The aim of education is the knowledge, not of facts, but of values.
William S. Burroughs

Your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative.
William S. Burroughs

The knowledge of yourself will preserve you from vanity.

David Hume

Thomas Huxley

Thomas Huxley

Every great advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority.
Thomas Huxley

If repression has indeed been the fundamental link between power, knowledge, and sexuality since the classical age, it stands to reason that we will not be able to free ourselves from it except at a considerable cost.
Michel Foucault

Can the knowledge deriving from reason even begin to compare with knowledge perceptible by sense?
Louis Aragon

The truth is often terrifying, which I think is one of the motifs of Larry and Andrew's cinema. The cost of knowledge is an important theme. In the second and third films, they explore the consequences of Neo's choice to know the truth. It's a beautiful, beautiful story.
Keanu Reeves

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but a little want of knowledge is also a dangerous thing.
Samuel Butler

The youth of an art is, like the youth of anything else, its most interesting period. When it has come to the knowledge of good and evil it is stronger, but we care less about it.
Samuel Butler

It is one of my sources of happiness never to desire a knowledge of other people's business.
Dolley Madison

The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder.
Ralph W. Sockman
