Famous quotes containing the word knowledge:

“We live in an age of reproduction. Most of what makes up our personal picture of the world we have never seen with our own eyes—or rather we have seen it with our own eyes, but not on the spot: our knowledge comes to us from a distance, we are tele- viewers, tele-hearers, tele-knowers.”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“The new knowledge has not yet settled in culture. It has not yet been integrated in a new cosmic conception.”
