“Taste, when once obtained, may be said to be no acquiring faculty, and must remain stationary; but knowledge is of perpetual growth and has infinite demands. Taste, like an artificial canal, winds through a beautiful country, but its borders are confined and its term is limited. Knowledge navigates the ocean, and is perpetually on voyages of discovery.” MaySaidCountryBeautifulGrowthTermWindTasteDemandOceanDiscoveryInfiniteBordersFacultyArtificialPerpetualConfinedVoyagesNavigateCanalsStationaryBeautiful CountryVoyages Of DiscoveryLimited Knowledge Book:Curiosities of literature Source: Curiosities of literature
“Perhaps the history of the errors of mankind, all things considered, is more valuable and interesting than that of their discoveries. Truth is uniform and narrow; it constantly exists, and does not seem to require so much an active energy, as a passive aptitude of the soul in order to encounter it. But error is endlessly diversified; it has no reality, but is the pure and simple creation of the mind that invents it. In this field the soul has room enough to expand herself, to display all her boundless faculties, and all her beautiful and interesting extravagancies and absurdities.” MindDoeSoulEnoughRealitySeemsBeautifulOrderEnergySimpleInterestingRoomsMankindCreationFieldsTruth IsPureDiscoveryAll ThingsErrorsValuableActiveEncountersFacultyDisplayPassiveUniformsAbsurdityBoundlessAptitude Author:Benjamin Franklin

“In spite of the fact that religion looks backward to revealed truth while science looks forward to new vistas and discoveries, both activities produce a sense of awe and a curious mixture of humility and arrogance in their practitioners. All great scientists are inspired by the subtlety and beauty of the natural world that they are seeking to understand. Each new subatomic particle, every unexpected object, produces delight and wonderment. In constructing their theories, physicists are frequently guided by arcane concepts of elegance in the belief that the universe is intrinsically beautiful.” WorldLooksFactsBeautifulScienceReligionUniverseBeliefNaturalObjectsProduceHumilityTheoryActivityConceptsDiscoveryScientistInspiredDelightSeekingCuriousArroganceAweSpiteUnexpectedPhysicistEleganceMixturesParticlesNatural WorldSubtletyVistasGreat ScientistArcaneSubatomic Particles Author:Paul Davies
