Probably the last man who knew how it worked had been tortured to death years before. Or as soon as it was installed. Killing the creator was a traditional method of patent protection. ~ Terry Pratchett
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Terry Pratchett
I also hold very strong personal convictions about censorship. I don't believe in forbidden knowledge. ~ Andrea Cremer
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Andrea Cremer
There are no things man was not meant to know. There are, perhaps, things man is too dumb to figure out, but that's a different problem. ~ Michael Kurland
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Michael Kurland
Even now, I believe that to know how is useless if we do not know why. And there are too many who forbid us to ask. ~ Robin Wasserman
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Robin Wasserman
Authority is essential to society, but what we called in King Lear "transcendental" authority, with an executive ruler on top, depends on the ruler's understanding of equity. If he hasn't enough of such understanding, authority becomes a repressive legalism. Legalism of this sort really descends from what is called in the Bible the knowledge of good and evil. This was forbidden knowledge, because, as we'll see, it's not a genuine knowledge at all: it can't even tell us anything about good and evil. This kind of knowledge came into the world along with the discovery of self-conscious sex, when Adam and Eve knew that they were naked, and the thing that repressive legalism ever since has been most anxious to repress is the sexual impulse. ~ Northrop Frye
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Northrop Frye
When I was in college, I became interested in various aspects of foreign policy and international relations. Even as a kid, I was interested in what I call, loosely speaking, forbidden knowledge. ~ Barry Eisler
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Barry Eisler
I have a long-standing interest in what I like to think of as 'forbidden knowledge:' methods of unarmed killing, lock picking, breaking and entry, spy stuff, and other things that the government wants only a few select individuals to know. ~ Barry Eisler
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Barry Eisler
In this light, continuing to focus efforts on programming each device natively, encoding all the domain knowledge on these devices, may not be the best way to make use of software developers' (and architects') energies. Instead it may make more sense to leverage the network itself; to actually program the network instead of the connected devices. ~ Cesare Pautasso
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Cesare Pautasso
I found out that with one hundred and fifty well-chosen books a man possesses, if not a complete summary of all human knowledge, at least all that a man need really know. ~ Alexandre Dumas
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Alexandre Dumas
I am rather ashamed to admit that my knowledge of the Ice Age in Canada is very little, mostly because much of it was under ice until about 10,000 years ago. I am very sure we still had beavers. I am also equally sure we still had Tim Horton's, a prehistoric edifice which has a coffee blend that can only be described as fossilized. ~ Michelle Franklin
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Michelle Franklin
It is a common misinterpretation of Islamic intellectual history
to say that Muslim scholars made scientific discoveries but then failed to follow up on them, so the torch of learning passed to the West. This is to read the empirical methodology and practical goals of modern science back into the intellectual methods and spiritual goals of the wisdom tradition. The goal was not to establish a fund of transmitted knowledge which other scientists could imitate and build upon and from which technologists could draw for practical ends. The goal was to discover the truth for oneself. ~ William C. Chittick
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by William C. Chittick
And so it happens oft in many instances; more good is done without our knowledge than by us intended.
[Lat., Itidemque ut saepe jam in multis locis,
Plus insciens quis fecit quam prodens boni.] ~ Plautus
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Plautus
This background enables us to understand a fact that is symptomatic of the current phase of saturation: there are countless people who want to withdraw from the omnipresence of advertising, who even avoid it like the plague. Here too, it is helpful to distinguish between the states before and after. From the perspective of the burgeoning world of products, advertising could be justified by the argument that spreading the word about the existence of new means of life improvements was indispensable, as the populations of industrial and trading nations would otherwise have been cheated of major knowledge about discreet improvements to the world. As the ambassador of new bringers of advantage, early advertising was the general training medium for contemporary performance collectives thoughtlessly denounced in culture-conservative milieus as 'consumer societies'. The aversion to advertising that pervades the saturated infospheres of the present, however, is based on the correct intuition that, in most of its manifestations, it has long since become a form of downward training. It no longer passes on what people should know in order to access advantageous innovations; it creates illusions of purchasable self-elevations that de facto usually lead to weakenings. ~ Peter Sloterdijk
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Peter Sloterdijk
The greatest hindrance to Satan's destructive efforts is our standing strong in the knowledge and fear of the Lord. ~ Billy Graham
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Billy Graham
Science ... looks skeptically at all claims to knowledge, old and new. It teaches not blind obedience to those in authority but to vigorous debate, and in many respects that's the secret of its success. ~ Carl Sagan
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Carl Sagan
Management of outcomes may not be any more than a skill. It does not require knowledge. ~ W. Edwards Deming
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by W. Edwards Deming
God would be knowable as an infinite progression from ignorance into higher levels of knowledge and insight about the nature of self and reality. ~ Erik Lenderman
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Erik Lenderman
Having knowledge but lacking the power to express it clearly is no better than never having any ideas at all. ~ Pericles
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Pericles
The examination combines the techniques of an observing hierarchy and those of a normalizing judgement. It is a normalizing gaze, a surveillance that makes it possible to qualify, to classify and to punish. It establishes over individuals a visibility through which one differentiates them and judges them. That is why, in all the mechanisms of discipline, the examination is highly ritualized. In it are combined the ceremony of power and the form of the experiment, the deployment of force and the establishment of truth. At the heart of the procedures of discipline, it manifests the subjection of those who are perceived as objects and the objectification of those who are subjected. The superimposition of the power relations and knowledge relations assumes in the examination all its visible brilliance. ~ Michel Foucault
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Michel Foucault
Since we cannot be universal and know all that is to be known of everything, we ought to know a little about everything. For it is far better to know something about everything than to know all about one thing. ~ Blaise Pascal
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Blaise Pascal
People love answers, but only as long as they are the ones who came up with them. ~ Criss Jami
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Criss Jami
In some sort of crude sense, which no vulgarity, no humor, no overstatement can quite extinguish, the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose. ~ J. Robert Oppenheimer
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by J. Robert Oppenheimer
In visual art it's better once to see, than one hundred times to hear. ~ Igor Babailov
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Igor Babailov
I die with a joyful heart in the knowledge of our infinite achievements and of a contribution unique in the history that bears my name. ~ Adolf Hitler
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Adolf Hitler
Knowledge is the antidote to fear ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is very unfair to judge of any body's conduct, without an intimate knowledge of their situation. ~ Jane Austen
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Jane Austen
I didn't have any knowledge of the music industry when I first got to L.A., and I really didn't know on a creative level what I wanted to sound like, so I had to do a lot of experimenting. It led to a spiral of depression and being broke. ~ Skylar Grey
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Skylar Grey
Knowledge is a thousand times more precious than silver or gold. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
Fate was cruel to play this trick on her, although if she were honest she knew she only had herself to blame. She had taken the chance and now she had to pay the price. ~ Emily Arden
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Emily Arden
What it came down to was a search not for the most talent, the greatest brilliance, but for the fewest black marks, the fewest objections. The man who had made the fewest enemies in an era when forceful men espousing good causes had made many enemies: the Kennedys were looking for someone who made very small waves. They were looking for a man to fill the most important Cabinet post, a job requiring infinite qualities of intelligence, wisdom and sophistication, a knowledge of both this country and the world, and they were going at it as presidential candidates had often filled that other most crucial post, the Vice-Presidency, by choosing someone who had offended the fewest people. Everybody's number-two choice. ~ David Halberstam
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by David Halberstam
I can be free only to the extent that others are forbidden to profit from their physical, economic, or other superiority to the detriment of my liberty. ~ Emile Durkheim
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Emile Durkheim
I love you as I love the air that surrounds me, without knowing that my life depends on it. ~ Debasish Mridha
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Debasish Mridha
...[M]oral instruction, although containing much that is convincing for the reason, ...accomplishes... little... [because] the teachers themselves have not got their own notions clear, and when they endeavor to make up for this by raking up motives of moral goodness from every quarter, trying to make their physic right strong, they spoil it. ~ Immanuel Kant
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Immanuel Kant
You see, somewhere deep within the universe is a cosmic heart that pours knowledge to those with questions. And to communicate with it, you simply have to tap into your own heart. Yet there is a catch. You cannot be sleeping. You have to be wide awake. And your heart cannot be heavy. It must be as light as a feather. And your questions cannot carry any shades of darkness; they must be as childlike as a curious and receptive student of Truth. And the answers, can be interpreted in many different ways -- depending on how much truth you have in you. ~ Suzy Kassem
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Suzy Kassem
That would prove a recurring trait in him - the need to cover up his inadequacies with small lies and slight exaggerations. To pretend knowledge he didn't have. I forgave him this flaw for I knew what it hid; I could feel his need like a pleasantly raw wound in my mouth, and I could not help but savour it. ~ Jason Heller
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Jason Heller
I had stayed still and let the days pass, which is the best way to allow things in the real world to dissolve or break down, although they remain forever in our thoughts and in our knowledge, solid and putrid and stinking to high heaven. But that is bearable and we can live with it. Who doesn't carry something of that nature around with them? ~ Javier Marias
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Javier Marias
Genesis prepared Samantha's intellect upgrade she was a plain, homely woman quite dismal in appearance, her eyes tarnished with the signs of fatigue like weary stars about to extinguish their light after their existence had expired. She was attempting to secure a highly sought after, well respected research post in neurology as well as seeking to impress a research professor she had her eye on and desired to capture his unsuspecting heart with her knowledge. ~ Jill Thrussell
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Jill Thrussell
Easier to understand the wind . . . Easier to walk on the surface of the frothing sea, than to remember the hunger to do it. Easier to remember knowledge than ignorance, experience than innocence. Easier to know what you are than remember what you were. ~ Patricia A. McKillip
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Patricia A. McKillip
Knowledge will not always take the place of simple observation. ~ Arnold Lobel
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Arnold Lobel
It [angling] deserves commendations; ... it is an art worthy the knowledge and practice of a wise man. ~ Izaak Walton
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Izaak Walton
Jesus had the ministry of light (knowledge). ~ Sunday Adelaja
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Sunday Adelaja
Information and knowledge are two different things and not nearly the same. ~ Jeffrey Fry
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Jeffrey Fry
Our categories arise from the fact that we are neural beings, from the nature of our bodily capacities, from our experience interacting in the world, and from our evolved capacity for basic-level categorization - a level at which we optimally interact with the world. Evolution has not required us to be as accurate above and below the basic level as at the basic level, and so we are not. ~ George Lakoff
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by George Lakoff
In the eighteenth century, philosophers considered the whole of human knowledge, including science, to be their field and discussed questions such as: Did the universe have a beginning? However, in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, science became too technical and mathematical for the philosophers, or anyone else except a few specialists. Philosophers reduced the scope of their inquiries so much that Wittgenstein, the most famous philosopher of this century, said, "The sole remaining task for philosophy is the analysis of language." What a comedown from the great tradition of philosophy from Aristotle to Kant! ~ Stephen Hawking
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Stephen Hawking
It makes no sense to seek a single best way to represent knowledge-because each particular form of expression also brings its particular limitations. For example, logic-based systems are very precise, but they make it hard to do reasoning with analogies. Similarly, statistical systems are useful for making predictions, but do not serve well to represent the reasons why those predictions are sometimes correct. ~ Marvin Minsky
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Marvin Minsky
She walks with the knowledge that, no matter what, she's not one of you. She loves you, but not your people. You love her, but not the life she wants. you long for a world where you can walk with her and she with you and know that you will never need anything else.
I can give you, and everyone, a world like that. I ask you not to believe me... only to listen. ~ Sam Sykes
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Sam Sykes
But I am just as appalled that my experience, knowledge, dedication and service relative to defending the United States against biological warfare has been turned against me in connection with the search for the anthrax killer. ~ Steven Hatfill
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Steven Hatfill
In intimacy, we are clasped into one another, and the invisible bonds are liberating shackles. this clasping is imperious: it demands exclusivity. to share is to betray. But we want to love and touch not only one single person. What to do? control the various intimacies? Strict bookkeeping of subjects, words, gestures? Mutual knowledge and secrets? It would be a silent trickling poison. ~ Pascal Mercier
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Pascal Mercier
ThinK: for a thin sneaking into a vast sea of Knowledge, and the water enables the clarity to see through.
The Hindu mythology has it that thinner than water is nothing but Knowledge.
Higher the cutting edge clarity, higher is the productivity. ~ Priyavrat Thareja
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Priyavrat Thareja
There are branches of learning and education which we must study merely with a view to leisure spent in intellectual activity, and these are to be valued for their own sake; whereas those kinds of knowledge which are useful in business are to be deemed necessary, and exist for the sake of other things. ~ Aristotle.
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Aristotle.
You can only love, it is impossible to unlove, as you can only drink but never can undrink. ~ Debasish Mridha
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Debasish Mridha
Teachers are endless Fragrance, which lasts forever in mind of students as Knowledge ~ Samar Sudha
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Samar Sudha
I have some knowledge of the time that may be misspent, clinging to fictions and supposing them truths. ~ Sarah Waters
Forbidden Knowledge quotes by Sarah Waters
Science is the father of knowledge, but opinion breeds ignorance. ~ Hippocrates
