Quotes

• “Education is learning what you didn't even know you didn't know.”
• “The great obstacle to discovering the shape of the earth, the continents, and the oceans was not ignorance, but the illusion of knowledge.”
• “Technology is so much fun but we can drown in our technology. The fog of information can drive out knowledge.”
• “I write to discover what I think. After all, the bars aren't open that early.”
• “These creators, makers of the new, can never become obsolete, for in the arts there is no correct answer. The story of discoverers could be told in simple chronological order, since the latest science replaces what went before. But the arts are another story — a story of infinite addition. We must find order in the random flexings of the imagination.”
• “The history of Western science confirms the aphorism that the great menace to progress is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge.”
