Take from the philosopher the pleasure of being heard and his desire for knowledge ceases.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Knowledge is the eye of desire and can become the pilot of the soul.
But I owe it to the subject to say, that it has long afforded me what philosophy is so often thought, and made, barren of - the fun of discovery, the pleasures of co-operation, and the satisfaction of reaching agreement.
There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.
There is no desire more natural than the desire for knowledge.
If you crave for Knowledge, the banquet of Knowledge grows and groans on the board until the finer appetite sickens.
Knowledge is the life of the mind.
Pleasure is a shadow, wealth is vanity, and power a pageant; but knowledge is ecstatic in enjoyment, perennial in frame, unlimited in space and indefinite in duration.
Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves.
Anyone who acquires more than the usual amount of knowledge concerning a subject is bound to leave it as his contribution to the knowledge of the world.
Pleasures take to themselves wings and fly away; true knowledge remains forever.
