GUIL: A scientific approach to the examination of phenomena is a defence against the pure emotion of fear

A scholar's business is to add to what is known. That is all. But it is capable of giving the very greatest satisfaction, because knowledge is good. It does not have to look good or even sound good or even do good. It is good just by being knowledge. And the only thing that makes it knowledge is that it is true. You can't have too much of it and there is no little too little to be worth having. There is truth and falsehood in a comma.

No matter how imperfect things are, if you've got a free press everything is correctable, and without it everything is concealable.

It makes me so happy. To be at the beginning again, knowing almost nothing.... A door like this has cracked open five or six times since we got up on our hind legs. It's the best possible time of being alive, when almost everything you thought you knew is wrong.

The days of the digitals are numbered. The metaphor is built into them like a self-destruct mechanism.
