Our civilization has evolved through the continuous adjustment of society to the stimulus of new knowledge.

New knowledge is the most valuable commodity on earth. The more truth we have to work with, the richer we become.

If we would have new knowledge, we must get a whole world of new questions.

You learn that the interest is in what you don't yet know and that theories evolve. But we nonetheless have progress and improved knowledge over time.

We have much to learn by studying nature and taking the time to tease out its secrets.

Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.

If you crave for Knowledge, the banquet of Knowledge grows and groans on the board until the finer appetite sickens.

We can learn something new anytime we believe we can.

We keep, in science, getting a more and more sophisticated view of our essential ignorance.

Empty heads, cognitive science has taught us, learn nothing. The powerful cultural and personal flexibility of our species is owed at least in part to our starting off so well-informed; we are good learners because we know what to pay attention to and what questions are the right ones to ask.
