Students and scholars of all kinds and of every age aim, as a rule, only at information, not insight. they make it a point of honour to have information about everything, every stone, plant, battle, or experiment and about all books, collectively and individually. it never occurs to them that information is merely a means to insight, but in itself is of little or no value.

More From Arthur Schopenhauer

Every thing thinks, but according to its complexity. if this is so, then stones also think...and this stone thinks only i stone, i stone, i stone. but perhaps it cannot even say i. it thinks: stone, stone, stone... god enjoys being all, as this stone enjoys being almost nothing, but since it knows no other way of being, it is pleased with its own way, eternally satisfied with itself.
Thinking Stones Way

Browns seek knowledge, blues meddle in causes, and whites consider the questions of truth with implacable logic. we all do some of it all, of course. but to be green means to stand ready. in the trolloc wars, we were often called the battle ajah. all aes sedai helped where and when they could, but the green ajah alone was always with the armies, in almost every battle. we were the counter to the dreadlords. the battle ajah. and now we stand ready, for the trollocs to come south again, for tarmon gai'don. the last battle. we will be there. that is what it means to be green. -alanna

Aim for the chopping block. if you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. aim past the wood, aim through the wood; aim for the chopping block.
Block Past Woods
Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

The books in mo and meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. there where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. books on the tv set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. they welcomed meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. and sometimes you fall over them.
