Mary Barnett Gilson Quotes

How Ignorant We Are! How Ignorant Everyone Is! We Can Cut Across Only A Small Area Of The Appallingly Expanding Fields Of Knowledge. No Human Being Can Know More Than A Tiny Fraction Of The Whole. It Must Have Been Satisfactory In Ancient Times When One's Own Land Seemed To Be The Universe; When Research Studies, Pamphlets, Books Did Not Issue In Endless Flow; When Laboratories And Scientists Were Not So Rapidly Pushing Back Frontiers Of Knowledge That The Process Of Unlearning The Old Left You Gasping For Breath.
