If we want our children to value education, then we must show our appreciation for knowledge.

Brad Sherman

John Holt
For those who have obtained unobstructed knowledge of Self, the world is seen merely as a bondage causing imagination.

The degree of intelligence that a man or a machine can show depends on many qualities of the ways that knowledge, goals, and problem-solving techniques are represented and put together, and not so much on the fine details.

Vanna Bonta

It is no good to try to stop knowledge from going forward. Ignorance is never better than knowledge.

Enrico Fermi

Fools act on imagination without knowledge, pedants act on knowledge without imagination.
