“Knowledge cultivates your seeds and does not sow in your seeds.”– Khalil Gibran Related Quotes “The library is seen as a force for self improvement and the pursuit of knowledge. I fear that in many cases this is no longer true, if it ever was.”– John Redwood “Wonder is the beginning of wisdom in learning from books as well as from nature.”— Mortimer J. Adler “Those whom heaven helps we call the sons of heaven. They do not learn this by learning. They do not work it by working. They do not reason it by using reason. To let understanding stop at what cannot be understood is a high attainment. Those who cannot do it will be destroyed on the lathe of heaven. —Chuang Tse: XXIII”— Ursula K. Le Guin
