I do not personally want to believe that we already know the equations that determine the evolution and fate of the universe; it would make life too dull for me as a scientist. . . . I hope, and believe, that the Space Telescope might make the Big Bang cosmology appear incorrect to future generations, perhaps somewhat analogous to the way that Galileo's telescope showed that the earth-centered, Ptolemaic system was inadequate.
Logic is invincible, because in order to combat logic it is necessary to use logic.
All knowledge is gained through an orderly loss of information.
By this means we presume we have established for ever, a true and legitimate marriage between the Empirical and Rational faculty; whose fastidious and unfortunate divorce and separation hath troubled and disordered the whole race and generation of mankind.
Science is not marginal. Like art, it is a universal possession of humanity, and scientific knowledge has become a vital part of our species' repertory. It comprises what we know of the material world with reasonable certainty. . . . Thanks to science and technology, access to factual information of all kinds is rising exponentially.
There is no knowledge, no light, no wisdom that you are in possession of, but what you have received it from some source.
I should not like to say. . . that any kind of knowledge is not to be learned; for all knowledge appears to be a good.
I know that we do not know enough. We have to continue to learn. We have to be open. And we have to be ready to release our knowledge in order to come to a higher understanding of reality.
I'm a very passionate believer in the unity of knowledge. There is one world of reality - one world of our experience that we're seeking to describe.
I believe that we must maintain pride in the knowledge that the actions we take, based on our own decisions and choices as individuals, link directly to the magnificent challenge of transforming human history.
In the world of securities, courage becomes the supreme virtue after adequate knowledge and a tested judgment are at hand.
Find comfort in the knowledge that no imitator ever comes off as well as the original.
I'm always pursuing knowledge; I'm a seeker of spiritual equilibrium - and music is a big part of that.
Unintended consequences get to the heart of why you never really understand an adaptive problem until you have solved it. Problems morph and "solutions" often point to deeper problems. In social life, as in nature, we are walking on a trampoline. Every inroad reconfigures the environment we tread on.
Either one or the other [analysis or synthesis] may be direct or indirect. The direct procedure is when the point of departure is known-direct synthesis in the elements of geometry. By combining at random simple truths with each other, more complicated ones are deduced from them. This is the method of discovery, the special method of inventions, contrary to popular opinion.
The thing that has helped me the most has been surrounding myself with a strong community of people with common interests and relevant knowledge - other directors, artists, crew talent, and smart and fun people in other fields.
Prudence is the knowledge of things to be sought, and those to be shunned.
These will vary in every human being; but knowledge is the same for every mind, and every mind may and ought to be trained to receive it.
Understanding means throwing away your knowledge.
I do not believe in the gifted. If [the students] have ganas, I can make them do it.
