Famous quotes containing the words places and/or interest:

    “Of a truth, Knowledge is power, but it is a power reined by scruple, having a conscience of what must be and what may be; whereas Ignorance is a blind giant who, let him but wax unbound, would make it a sport to seize the pillars that hold up the long- wrought fabric of human good, and turn all the places of joy as dark as a buried Babylon.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    “Those people have no real interest in a science who only begin to get excited about it when they themselves have made discoveries in it.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
