Jacob Bronowski - From the Activity category:
- The Ascent of Man, 1973...
The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is more important than the eye. (Jacob Bronowski)
Jacob Bronowski - From the Appreciation category:
In the moment of appreciation we live again the moment when the creator saw and held the hidden likeness. (Jacob Bronowski)
Jacob Bronowski - From the Discovery category:
We re-make nature by the act of discovery, in the poem or in the theorem. And the great poem and the deep theorem are new to every reader, and yet are his own experiences, because he himself re-creates them. They are the marks of unity in variety; and in the instant when the mind seizes this for itself, in art or in science, the heart misses a beat. (Jacob Bronowski)
Jacob Bronowski - From the Education category:
It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it. (Jacob Bronowski)
Jacob Bronowski - From the Evolution category:
Evolution is a consolidation of what have always begun as errors. And errors are of two kinds: errors that turn out to be true and errors that turn out to be false (which are most of them). But they both have the same character of being an imaginative speculation. (Jacob Bronowski)
Jacob Bronowski - From the Genius category:
And he was a genius, in the sense that a genius is a man who has two great ideas. (Jacob Bronowski)
Jacob Bronowski - From the Humanity category:
Every animal leaves traces of what it was; man alone leaves traces of what he created. (Jacob Bronowski)
Jacob Bronowski - From the Imagination category:
The act of imagination is the opening of the system so that it shows new connections. Every act of imagination is the discovery of likenesses between two things which were thought unlike. (Jacob Bronowski)
Jacob Bronowski - From the Imagination category:
To imagine is the characteristic act, not of the poet's mind, or the painter's, or the scientist's, but of the mind of man. (Jacob Bronowski)
Jacob Bronowski - From the Life category:
The richness of human life is that we have many lives; we live the events that do not happen (and some that cannot) as vividly as those that do; and if thereby we die a thousand deaths, that is the price we pay for living a thousand lives. (Jacob Bronowski)
Jacob Bronowski - From the Nature category:
Man masters nature not by force, but by understanding. (Jacob Bronowski)
Jacob Bronowski - From the Progress category:
Progress is the exploration of our own error. (Jacob Bronowski)
Jacob Bronowski - From the Theory category:
A theory in its day helps to solve the problems of the day. (Jacob Bronowski)
Jacob Bronowski - From the Thought category:
The hand is the cutting edge of the mind. (Jacob Bronowski)
