The university's business is the conservation of useless knowledge and what the university itself apparently fails to see is that this enterprise is not only noble but indispensable as well that society can not exist unless it goes on.

Scientific knowledge is in perpetual evolution it finds itself changed from one day to the next.

I don't know what is better than the work that is given to the actor-to teach the human heart the knowledge of itself.

From all this it follows what the general character of the problem of the development of a body of scientific knowledge is in so far as it depends on elements internal to science itself.

Thought must be divided against itself before it can come to any knowledge of itself.

Knowledge is not a passion from without the mind but an active exertion of the inward strength vigor and power of the mind displaying itself from within.

There's a lot of neuroscience now raising the question 'Is all the intelligence in the human body in the brain?' and they're finding out that no it's not like that. The body has intelligence itself and we're much more of an organic creature in that way.
