"To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow of the tides, to feel the breath of a mist moving over a great salt marsh, to watch the flight of shore birds that have swept up and down the surf lines of the continents for untold thousands of year, to see the running of the old eels and the young shad to the sea, is to have knowledge of things that are as nearly eternal as any earthly life can be".....Rachel Carson

Imagination is more important than knowledge because knowledge is limited whereas imagination encompasses the whole world.
La strada che porta alla conoscenza è una strada che passa per dei buoni incontri.
The road that leads to knowledge is a road that passes through good meetings.
(Baruch Spinoza)
After spending time in Ireland's countryside, we headed to Dublin to return our rental car. It was exciting to be in this vibrant city wiith so much historical charm and lots of great things to see & do!
This is the Long Room, with it's oak ceiling and two levels of bookshelves holding some of Ireland's most ancient and valuable volumes in the oldest part of the Library at Trinity College and still in constant use... since 1732.
Stairway to knowledge. Of course, we're on the third floor. 8^) Rob and Melani Walton Center for Planetary Health.
A duo tone take on the Sir Duncan Rice Library in Aberdeen City. Looking down from the 7th floor through the central atrium to ground level. This stunning architecture was designed by Danish Architects.
A free press can, of course, be good or bad, but most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.
Albert Camus
Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.

Any fool can make a rule
And any fool will mind it.

The sun rising over the city of Vancouver, BC - seen through a lot of window condensation! Hoping for more human warmth and kindness, and a bit more light and knowledge wouldn't hurt either.
A detailed low-angle close-up of ancient Egyptian carvings on a dark stone granite surface with both hieroglyphic inscriptions and figurative representations.
The bas-relief carving is showcasing Seshat, an ancient Egyptian deity - the goddess of wisdom, knowledge, writing -
wearing her distinctive headdress featuring a seven-pointed star and two inverted plumes. She is shown in profile, a common artistic convention in ancient Egyptian art, with her arms extended in a record-keeping gesture.
Another deity figure - Thot - is partially visible to the left, also in profile, interacting with Seshat.
The background and surrounding areas are densely covered with intricate hieroglyphic carvings, which appear to be well-preserved. These inscriptions would likely detail the actions of the figures depicted, religious texts, or historical records related to the monument's construction or purpose.
The play of light and shadow highlights the depth and precision of the carvings, emphasizing the three-dimensional quality of the relief.
The photograph is taken from a low angle, looking upwards, which emphasizes the monumental scale of the carving and the structure it adorns. The natural sunlight casts dramatic shadows that enhance the contours and details of the figures and hieroglyphs.

A geological hammer, in memory of Mary Anning (1799-1847) from Lyme Regis/Dorset, fossil collector and lay palaeontologist and one of the key figures in the discovery of dinosaurs. She was not an "Anglican gentleman", not part of the establishment, but a dissenter and a woman and as such not allowed to join the Geological Society of London. "The world has used me so unkindly", she wrote. Mitakon Speedmaster manual lens at F 0.95; reflector used; edited in Fujifilm's raw converter and refined in Luminar.

Five LED spotlights in dark room, a red dictionary, and the X-Pro 1; raw image processed in Luminar and macOS High Sierra photo editor. This 'camera book' symbolises the correlation or interaction of knowing and seeing. It is just like the Egg-and-Chicken causality dilemma: difficult to determine what comes first.
Harrow school library. The Vaughan Library is over 150 years old and was designed in Victorian Gothic style by George Gilbert Scott, who also conceived St Pancras Station in London. Refurbished and enlarged 23 years ago, it is staffed today by qualified librarians and open daily for boys to study, browse and enjoy a quiet space.
It’s important to know who you are. At least until you figure out that who you are has nothing to do with anything you think about that.

Grace is not part of consciousness; it is the amount of light in our souls, not knowledge nor reason.

"In the deepest sense the search for extraterrestrial intelligence is a search for ourselves."
Carl Sagan
I have met semi-literate village intellectuals with a lot of wisdom and highly educated scholars not in control of their motivations. The relationship between wisdom and knowledge is a tricky one. Let us try this formulation: wisdom without knowledge is an impossibility, knowledge without wisdom is vacuous. The point here really is the definition of knowledge or, more precisely, the privileging of a certain type of knowledge (let us call it, for lack of a better term, the academic variety) over other types. Such other types may be emotional knowledge, or social and cultural abilities. The whole sector of artistic expression should be mentioned as well. Just to make the point again: wisdom is based on knowledge, it is not a "return to childhood". So, little cherub, go out into this world and make yourself knowledgeable, you might get wisdom, too.
