We do not want our world to
perish. But in our quest for
knowledge, century by century,
we have placed all our trust in a
cold, impartial intellect which only
brings us nearer to destruction.
?Dora Russell
When the search for truth is
confused with political advocacy,
the pursuit of knowledge is
reduced to the quest for power.
?Alston Chase
Our life is a long and arduous
quest after Truth and the soul
requires inward restfulness
to attain its full height.
?Mahatma Gandhi
More important than the quest for
certainty is the quest for clarity.
?Francois Gautier
Life begins as a quest of the
child for the man and ends
as a journey by the man
to rediscover the child.
?Laurens Van der Post
The people who shape our lives
and our cultures have the ability
to communicate a vision or a
quest or a joy or a mission.
?Anthony Robbins
I suppose everyone continues to be
interested in the quest for the self, but
what you feel when you're older, I think, is that. . .
you really must make the self.
?Mary McCarthy
