From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
“There are those who seek knowledge for knowledge's sake; that is curiosity. There are those who seek knowledge to be known by others; that is vanity. There are those who seek knowledge in order to serve; that is love.” --De gradibus humilitatis et superbiae (1120s) by Bernard of Clairvaux |
