Life has meaning only if one barters it day by day for something other than itself.

Fortunately analysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself still remains a very effective therapist.

I guess music particularly the blues is the only form of schizophrenia that has organised itself into being both legal and beneficial to society.

We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.

Learning has always been made much of but forgetting has always been deprecated therefore pedantry has pretty well established itself throughout the modern world at the expense of culture.

The mind of the polyglot is a very particular thing and scientists are only beginning to look closely at how acquiring a second language influences learning behavior and the very structure of the brain itself.

Learning carries within itself certain dangers because out of necessity one has to learn from one's enemies.

Patriotism when it wants to make itself felt in the domain of learning is a dirty fellow who should be thrown out of doors.

The Divine Thing that made itself the foundation of the Church does not seem to judge by his comments on the religious leadership of his day to have hoped much from officers of a church.

Now if we look at the way in which the labor movement itself has evolved over the last couple of decades we see increasing numbers of black people who are in the leadership of the labor movement and this is true today.

Scientific knowledge is in perpetual evolution it finds itself changed from one day to the next.

I don't know what is better than the work that is given to the actor-to teach the human heart the knowledge of itself.

From all this it follows what the general character of the problem of the development of a body of scientific knowledge is in so far as it depends on elements internal to science itself.

Thought must be divided against itself before it can come to any knowledge of itself.

Knowledge is not a passion from without the mind but an active exertion of the inward strength vigor and power of the mind displaying itself from within.

There's a lot of neuroscience now raising the question 'Is all the intelligence in the human body in the brain?' and they're finding out that no it's not like that. The body has intelligence itself and we're much more of an organic creature in that way.

The ability to take pleasure in one's life is a skill and is a kind of intelligence. So intelligence is a hard thing to evaluate and it manifests itself in so many different ways. I do think the ability to know how to live a life and not be miserable is a sign of that.
