Knowledge Domains

Famous quotes containing the words knowledge and/or domains:

    What is called an acute knowledge of human nature is mostly nothing but the observer’s own weaknesses reflected back from others.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    I shall be a benefactor if I conquer some realms from the night, if I report to the gazettes anything transpiring about us at that season worthy of their attention,—if I can show men that there is some beauty awake while they are asleep,—if I add to the domains of poetry.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
