It makes no sense to seek a single best way to represent knowledge-because each particular form of expression also brings its particular limitations.

Time says hush: by the gong of time you live. Listen and you hear time saying you were silent long before you came to life and you will again be silent long after you leave it, why not be a little silent now? Hush yourself, noisy little man. Time hushes all: the gong of time rang for you to come out of the hush and you were born. The gong of time will ring for you to go back to the same hush you came from. Winners and losers, the weak and the strong, those who say little and try to say it well, and those who babble and prattle their lives away, time hushes all.

C. S. Lewis

You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth of falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you.

Wouldn't you then first discover how much you really trusted it?

What made my obstacles insurmountable, what consigned me to mediocrity, is me, just me. I thought for so long, forever, that I was strong enough -- or I misunderstood what strength was.

Barbara Block

I remember being in strong physics, physiology and biology classes.

Bruce Lee
