Top Encyclopedia Quotes

Encyclopedia Quotes By Baruch Halpern

Hoffmeier furnishes a sophisticated fresh approach to the Biblical Exodus traditions filled with detailed Egyptological background, and utterly indispensable because of its basis in recent, and in many cases as yet unpublished, archaeological data. This is a virtual encyclopedia of the Exodus. — Baruch Halpern

Encyclopedia Quotes By Marshall McLuhan

Homer's Iliad was the cultural encyclopedia of pre-literate Greece, the didactic vehicle that provided men with guidance for the management of their spiritual, ethical, and social lives. — Marshall McLuhan

Encyclopedia Quotes By C.S. Lewis

It is Christ Himself, not the Bible, who is the true word of God. The Bible, read in the right spirit and with the guidance of good teachers, will bring us to Him. We must not use the Bible as a sort of encyclopedia out of which texts can be taken for use as weapons. — C.S. Lewis

Encyclopedia Quotes By Daniel C. Dennett

This 'web of discourses' as Robyn called it...is as much a biological product as any of the other constructions to be found in the animal world. (Clothes too, are part of the extended phenotype of Homo Sapiens almost every niche inhabited by that species.An illustrated encyclopedia of zoology should no more picture Homo Sapiens naked than it should picture Ursus arctus-the black bear- wearing a clown suit and riding a bicycle. — Daniel C. Dennett

Encyclopedia Quotes By Kristen Ashley

You're not safe to go back there," he said.
"I'm going," I returned.
"We'll see."
Jeez, there was just no shaking this guy.
"You do know that there's this little thing called the Nineteenth Amendment giving women the right to vote?" I asked.
"I heard of that," he said and there was a smile in his voice.
"And there's this whole movement called fem ... in ... is ... im." I said it slowly, like he was a dim child. "Where women started working, demanding equal pay for equal work, raising their voices on issues of the day, taking back the night, stuff like that."
He rolled into me, which made me roll onto my back.
"Sounds familiar."
"Do you have an encyclopedia? Maybe we can look it up. If the words are too big for you to read, I'l read it out loud and explain as I go along."
He got up on his elbow. "Only if you do it naked." I slapped his shoulder. — Kristen Ashley

Encyclopedia Quotes By Stanislaw Lem

Only a hundred years ago the idea that an order might arise without a personal Author appeared so nonsensical to you that it inspired seemingly absurd jokes, like the one about the pack of monkeys hammering away at typewriters until the Encyclopedia Britannica emerged. I recommend that you devote some of your free time to compiling an anthology of just such jokes, which amused your forebears as pure nonsense but now turn out to be parables of Nature. — Stanislaw Lem

Encyclopedia Quotes By John Perry

If you want to know what happiness is, you need to go to the philosophers. Start with the Wikipedia article "Philosophy of Happiness." Then go to the Stanford Online Encyclopedia of Philosophy, search for "happiness," and follow through the articles that come up to see what various philosophers have said. Then read the philosophers' works themselves. By the time you're done, you'll probably be dead, whether or not you are happy. — John Perry

Encyclopedia Quotes By Gordon S. Brown

Engineering is not merely knowing and being knowledgeable, like a walking encyclopedia; engineering is not merely analysis; engineering is not merely the possession of the capacity to get elegant solutions to non-existent engineering problems; engineering is practicing the art of the organizing forces of technological change ... Engineers operate at the interface between science and society. — Gordon S. Brown

Encyclopedia Quotes By Peter Prange

The Encyclopedia
the advance artillery of reason, the armada of philosophy, the siege engine of the enlightenment ... — Peter Prange

Encyclopedia Quotes By Rob Thomas

I still don't think I've ever read a Nancy Drew book; I probably read three or four 'Hardy Boys' books when I was 10, 11, 12, and I didn't love them at the time. Even then, they felt dated to me, like the word chum - 'my chum and I.' However, the 'Encyclopedia Brown' books, I read all of them. — Rob Thomas

Encyclopedia Quotes By N.D. Wilson

Give me priests. Give me men with feathers in their hair, or tall domed hats, female oracles in caves, servants of the python, smoking weed and reading palms. A gypsy fortuneteller with a foot-peddle ouija board and a gold fish bowl for a crystal ball knows more about the world than many of the great thinkers of the West. Mumbling priests swinging stink cans on their chains and even witch doctors conjuring up curses with a well-buried elephant tooth have a better sense of their places in the world. They know this universe is brimming with magic, with life and riddles and ironies. They know that the world might eat them, and no encyclopedia could stop it — N.D. Wilson

Encyclopedia Quotes By Richard P. Feynman

When I was about thirteen, the library was going to get 'Calculus for the Practical Man.' By this time I knew, from reading the encyclopedia, that calculus was an important and interesting subject, and I ought to learn it. — Richard P. Feynman

Encyclopedia Quotes By Suzanne Young

He lets me take the orders, standing at my side like
my own personal Mexican food encyclopediaSuzanne Young

Encyclopedia Quotes By Maggie Stiefvater

Right,' he said. 'So it stands to reason there's something about the line that fortifies or protects a corpse. The soul. The ... animus. The quiddity of it.'
'Gansey, seriously,' Adam interrupted, to Blue's relief. 'Nobody knows what quiddity is.'
'The whatness, Adam. Whatever it is that makes a person who they are. — Maggie Stiefvater

Encyclopedia Quotes By Ikechukwu Joseph

You are God's design to decorate this world. You are a repertoire of wisdom and an encyclopedia of God's knowledge. — Ikechukwu Joseph

Encyclopedia Quotes By Umberto Eco

The cultivated person's first duty is to be always prepared to rewrite the encyclopedia. — Umberto Eco

Encyclopedia Quotes By Denis Diderot

Indeed, the purpose of an encyclopedia is to collect knowledge disseminated around the globe; to set forth its general system to the men with whom we live, and transmit it to those who will come after us, so that the work of preceding centuries will not become useless to the centuries to come; and so that our offspring, becoming better instructed, will at the same time become more virtuous and happy, and that we should not die without having rendered a service to the human race in the future years to come. — Denis Diderot

Encyclopedia Quotes By Chris Adami

Can life be defined? Well, how would you go about it? Well, of course, you'd go to Encyclopedia Britannica and open at L. No, of course you don't do that; you put it somewhere in Google. And then you might get something. — Chris Adami

Encyclopedia Quotes By Philip Jose Farmer

Dullard: Someone who looks up a thing in the encyclopedia, turns directly to the entry, reads it, and then closes the book. — Philip Jose Farmer

Encyclopedia Quotes By Jimmy Wales

When I opened Wikipedia, it had three articles, yet it was called an encyclopedia. — Jimmy Wales

Encyclopedia Quotes By Richard Dawkins

There is enough information capacity in a single human cell to store the Encyclopedia Britannica, all 30 volumes of it, three or four times over. — Richard Dawkins

Encyclopedia Quotes By Nicole Williams

Tool," William said, ... "As in a device to perform or facilitate mechanical or manual labor?"
"That's right Encyclopedia Britannica. Or in layman's terms: screwdriver, hammer - "
"How about a wrench," William interrupted,"
"You've got a quick learner on your hands, Bryn," Paul said ... "Sure, wrench works just fine as well," ... "Whatever blows your skirt up buddy." ...
"Well a wrench would come in handy right now," William mused. "Because you definitely have a couple screws loose. — Nicole Williams

Encyclopedia Quotes By Jimmy Wales

Wikipedia is first and foremost an effort to create and distribute a free encyclopedia of the highest possible quality to every single person on the planet in their own language. Asking whether the community comes before or after this goal is really asking the wrong question: the entire purpose of the community is precisely this goal. — Jimmy Wales

Encyclopedia Quotes By Douglas Adams

Here's what the Encyclopedia Galactica has to say about alcohol. It says that alcohol is a colourless volatile liquid formed by the fermentation of sugars and also notes its intoxicating effect on certain carbon-based life forms. — Douglas Adams

Encyclopedia Quotes By William James

From the Vedas we learn a practical art of surgery, medicine, music, house building under which mechanized art is included. They are encyclopedia of every aspect of life, culture, religion, science, ethics, law, cosmology and meteorology. — William James

Encyclopedia Quotes By Gregory Benford

It is one thing to speak of embracing the new, the fresh, the strange. It is another to feel that one is an insect, crawling across a page of the Encyclopedia Britannica, knowing only that something vast is passing by beneath, all without your sensing more than a yawning vacancy. — Gregory Benford

Encyclopedia Quotes By Charles Van Doren

Because the world is radically new, the ideal encyclopedia should be radical, too. — Charles Van Doren

Encyclopedia Quotes By Mario Batali

Encyclopedia Quotes By Oliver Herford

A pest is a person who can talk like an encyclopedia, and does. — Oliver Herford

Encyclopedia Quotes By Heather O'Neill

Many writers were picked on as children. Why? Because they were weird from the get-go. They were often to be found at the back of the class smelling erasers, or talking to caterpillars, or walking down the street with an encyclopedia balanced on their head. — Heather O'Neill

Encyclopedia Quotes By Jacques Ellul

God is not an encyclopedia whose task it is to satisfy our curiosity. — Jacques Ellul

The Encyclopedia Britannica, 15th edition, devotes 20,000 words to the person of Jesus Christ and never once hints that He didn't exist. — John Ankerberg

Encyclopedia Quotes By Jonathan Safran Foer

She always saw through him, as if he were just another window. She always felt that she knew everything about him that could be known. Not that he was simple, but that he was knowable, like a list of errands, like an encyclopedia. — Jonathan Safran Foer

Encyclopedia Quotes By Elizabeth Gilbert

Who will ever kiss this encyclopedia of a head? — Elizabeth Gilbert

Encyclopedia Quotes By Edward De Bono

Language is the biggest barrier to human progress because language is an encyclopedia of ignorance. Old perceptions are frozen into language and force us to look at the world in an old fashioned way. — Edward De Bono

Encyclopedia Quotes By Karl Kraus

I had a terrible vision: I saw an encyclopedia walk up to a polymath and open him up. — Karl Kraus

Encyclopedia Quotes By Benny Fine

We are always taking a hard look at how life was in the past in coming up with interesting subject matter for our various series, and remembering how much I used to want an encyclopedia as a kid made me realize wanting a set is very unlikely for teens today, and that conversation would be interesting. — Benny Fine

Encyclopedia Quotes By Lisa Renee Jones

submission would be, because I'd really earned it." "Oh, please. You have so many rules, your rules have rules. Any woman who dared to date you would need an encyclopedia-sized book to keep up. — Lisa Renee Jones

Encyclopedia Quotes By Susan Winebrenner

Real intelligence is a creative use of knowledge, not merely an accumulation of facts. The slow thinker who can finally come up with an idea of his own is more important to the world than a walking encyclopedia who hasn't learned how to use this information productively. — Susan Winebrenner

Encyclopedia Quotes By Anonymous

I see all this and I feel no amazement because making the shell implied also making the honey in the wax comb and the coal and the telescopes and the reign of Cleopatra and the films about Cleopatra and the Pyramids and the design of the zodiac of the Chaldean astrologers and the wars and empires Herodotus speaks of and the words written by Herodotus and the works written in all languages, including those of Spinoza in Dutch, and the fourteen-line summary of Spinoza's life and works in the instalment of the encyclopedia in the truck passed by the ice-cream van, and so I feel as if, in making the shell, I had also made the rest. — Anonymous

Encyclopedia Quotes By Chloe Neill

You know what I need?" I asked. "A chocolate fountain?" Ethan suggested. "A complete paper set of the Encyclopedia Britannica? A lifetime supply of grilled meat?" "I like all those ideas, but I was thinking a magical spray I can use on Mallory to wash the crazy off her." "Like Lysol for evil?" Paige asked. — Chloe Neill

Encyclopedia Quotes By Brie Larson

I just don't want to stop finding things interesting. I don't want to ever stop learning. I want to be a weird encyclopedia of bizarre knowledge. — Brie Larson

Encyclopedia Quotes By Lauren Slater

I looked up "skin" in the encyclopedia and confirmed that, sure enough, it is the human body's largest organ, a fact that suggests our surfaces are critical to who we are, not just the gateway to physical or spiritual depths but a profoundly important web of cells that, in protecting us, gives us form and function. — Lauren Slater

Encyclopedia Quotes By Gabrielle Roth

Your body is the ground and metaphor of your life, the expression of your existence. It is your Bible, your encyclopedia, your life story. Everything that happens to you is stored and reflected in your body. In the marriage of flesh and spirit divorce is impossible. — Gabrielle Roth

Encyclopedia Quotes By Daniel Boulud

Young chefs, famous chefs, home cooks, and everyone who loves food and cooking-we all depend on Larousse Gastronomique. It is the only culinary encyclopedia that is always up-to-date. — Daniel Boulud

Encyclopedia Quotes By R. K. Milholland

I barely trust established sources of information. I have a hard time finding [Wikipedia], an encyclopedia that anyone can alter, to be a safe way to learn about anything except how many idiots think their opinions are a suitable substitute for facts. — R. K. Milholland

Encyclopedia Quotes By Terry Rossio

I'm tempted to say, 'Writing treatments is like designing a film by hiring six million monkeys to tear out pages of an encyclopedia, then you put the pages through a paper-shredder, randomly grab whatever intact lines are left, sing them in Italian to a Spanish deaf-mute, and then make story decisions with the guy via conference call.' But no ... compared to writing treatments, that makes sense, too. — Terry Rossio

Encyclopedia Quotes By Lady Gaga

My fashion is my most prized possession for two reasons: 1) because it is a visualization of all the hard work I've put in to get where I am today; 2) because it is a legend to the encyclopedia of my life. It is exactly what I've aimed to seep into the artistic consciousness of people all over the world - that life is an art form. — Lady Gaga

Encyclopedia Quotes By Gareth B. Matthews

Adults discourage children from asking philosophical questions, first by being patronizing to them and then by directing their inquiring minds towards more "useful" questions. Most adults aren't themselves interested in philosophical questions. They may be threatened by some of them. Moreover, it doesn't occur to most adults that there are questions that a child can ask that they can't provide a definitive answer to and that aren't answered in a standard dictionary or encyclopedia either. — Gareth B. Matthews

Encyclopedia Quotes By Jose Andres

Me, I'm an encyclopedia. I'm not a very smart guy, but I'm an encyclopedia. You can ask me about anything you want. Probably I have the book; probably I have a first edition. — Jose Andres

Encyclopedia Quotes By Paulo Coelho

If I could, I'd write a huge encyclopedia just about the words luck and coincidence — Paulo Coelho

Encyclopedia Quotes By Douglas Adams

The Encyclopedia Galactica defines a robot as a mechanical apparatus designed to do the work of a man. The marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as "Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun to Be With. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing devision of the Sirius Cybernetic Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes, — Douglas Adams

Encyclopedia Quotes By Suze Orman

I've learned an encyclopedia version of life from Oprah Winfrey. — Suze Orman

Encyclopedia Quotes By Melissa De La Cruz

You may be able to call up an entire
encyclopedia, but nothing is more meaningless than a brain
with no heart and no reasoning — Melissa De La Cruz

Encyclopedia Quotes By Jean Lorrain

But that woman is an encyclopedia!
Of all vices, ancient and modern, and terribly interesting to leaf through!
Jean Lorrain

Encyclopedia Quotes By A.A. Milne

He was telling an interesting anecdote full of exciting words like "encyclopedia" and "rhododendron". — A.A. Milne

Encyclopedia Quotes By Ralph Waldo Emerson

A man is the whole encyclopedia of facts. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Encyclopedia Quotes By Virginia Morell

When poachers target the matriarchs or older females - as they often do, because older elephants usually have larger tusks - they also destroy that lifetime of learning and knowledge. For an elephant family, the death of a matriarch must feel like losing an encyclopedia, or an entire library - and for us, the loss makes stopping the poaching even more urgent, if only to protect the experienced matriarchs, who keep their families out of harm's way. — Virginia Morell

Encyclopedia Quotes By Al Kooper

Unlike so many Dylan-writer-wannabes and phony 'encyclopedia' compilers, Sean Wilentz makes me feel he was in the room when he chronicles events that I participated in. Finally a breath of fresh words founded in hardcore, intelligent research. — Al Kooper

Encyclopedia Quotes By Zack W. Van

Life is a game of common sense. You can know all the data that the encyclopedia holds, but if you can't apply it to social situations and day to day events, you're on the same rank as someone with no data at all. — Zack W. Van

Encyclopedia Quotes By George R R Martin

I had an encyclopedia with a list of flags in the back, so I would look at all these flags of China and Liberia and England and Denmark and whatever, and I learned all the different flags, and I tried to imagine what it would be like to be voyaging on some of these ships. — George R R Martin

Encyclopedia Quotes By Greg Ray

Encyclopedia is a Latin term. It means "to paraphrase a term paper." — Greg Ray

Encyclopedia Quotes By Clark Gregg

The tremendous Jeremy Latcham from Marvel showed up with this one-of-a-kind animated encyclopedia about S.H.I.E.L.D. and The Avengers. Coulson wasn't a part of the comic books, which is a singular thing about him that I thought would get me killed off very quickly, but luckily, it didn't. It just became a thing that I fit into, and they kept finding new and better uses for me. — Clark Gregg

Encyclopedia Quotes By Ralph Waldo Emerson

Therefore we value the poet. All the argument and all the wisdom is not in the encyclopedia, or the treatise on metaphysics, or the Body of Divinity, but in the sonnet or the play. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Encyclopedia Quotes By Jorge Luis Borges

On those remote pages [of 'a certain Chinese encyclopedia'] it is written that animals are divided into (a) those that belong to the Emperor, (b) embalmed ones, (c) those that are trained, (d) suckling pigs, (e) mermaids, (f ) fabulous ones, (g) stray dogs, (h) those that are included in this classification, (i) those that tremble as if they were mad, (j) innumerable ones, (k) those drawn with a very fine camel's hair brush, (l) others, (m) those that have just broken a flower vase, (n) those that resemble flies from a distance. — Jorge Luis Borges

Encyclopedia Quotes By Sue Gardner

It's a funny habit to write encyclopedia entries. It's not a mass taste. — Sue Gardner

Encyclopedia Quotes By Yuval Noah Harari

In truth, neither the narrative of oppression and exploitation nor that of 'the White Man's burden' completely matches the facts. The European empires did so many different things on such a large scale, that you can find plenty of examples to support whatever you want to say about them. You think that these empires were evil monstrosities that spread death, oppression and injustice around the world? You could easily fill an encyclopedia with their crimes. You want to argue that they in fact improved the conditions of their subjects with new medicines, better economic conditions and greater security? You could fill another encyclopedia with their achievements. Due to their close cooperation with science, these empires wielded so much power and changed the world to such an extent that perhaps they cannot be simply labelled as good or evil. They created the world as we know it, including the ideologies we use in order to judge them. But — Yuval Noah Harari

Encyclopedia Quotes By David Sedaris

I like the trail that the Internet created. For example, I was watching one of those Douglas Sirk movies, and I noticed that Rock Hudson towered over everyone, and I typed in "How tall was" and I saw "How tall was Jesus," and I'm like, "Sure," and half an hour later you're somewhere you didn't expect to be. It doesn't work that same way in books, does it? Even if you have an encyclopedia, the trail isn't that crazy. I like that aspect of it. — David Sedaris

Encyclopedia Quotes By Rachel Held Evans

Invariably, I will be referred to Gleason Archer's massive Encyclopedia of Bible Difficulties, a heavy volume that seeks to provide the reader with sound explanations for every conceivable puzzle found within the Bible - from whether God approved of Rahab's lie, to where Cain got his wife. (Note to well-meaning apologists: it's not always the best idea to present a skeptic with a five-hundred-page book listing hundreds of apparent contradictions in Scripture when the skeptic didn't even know that half of them existed before you recommended it.) — Rachel Held Evans

Encyclopedia Quotes By Anais Nin

It is possible I never learned the names of birds in order to discover the bird of peace, the bird of paradise, the bird of the soul, the bird of desire. It is possible I avoided learning the names of composers and their music the better to close my eyes and listen to the mystery of all music as an ocean. It may be I have not learned dates in history in order to reach the essence of timelessness. It may be I never learned geography the better to map my own routes and discover my own lands. The unknown was my compass. The unknown was my encyclopedia. The unnamed was my science and progress. — Anais Nin

Encyclopedia Quotes By Catherine Ryan Hyde

[There] was a time when a lot of people came to the door. The milkman. The iceman. The Fuller Brush man. Encyclopedia salesmen. There was a sense of interaction with the world that started right at your own front doorstep. — Catherine Ryan Hyde

Encyclopedia Quotes By Ivan E. Coyote

books: Nancy Drew, Harriet the Spy, Encyclopedia Brown, and later, anything with even a passing mention of sex in it: Judy Blume's Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret, and those Clan of the Cave Bear books, the whole Flowers in the Attic series. But mostly we were obsessed with a book called The Chrysalids. We — Ivan E. Coyote

Encyclopedia Quotes By William Silvester

What is to come? Despite the fact that J.K. Rowling has repeatedly stated that she has no desire to write an eighth Harry Potter book, it has been reported that she is working on the long awaited and highly anticipated Harry Potter Encyclopedia. When such a tome will be published is purely a matter of speculation as Rowling is under no deadline to complete the work and intends to take her time and enjoy the process. There are also currently no plans to expand into television, stage plays, or graphic novels, but one can not help but speculate on what the future might hold for this incredibly lucrative franchise. — William Silvester

Encyclopedia Quotes By Aziz Ansari

Schwartz is an encyclopedia of psychological research on choice problems. If asked to give a quote about him for the back of a book cover, I would say, "This motherfucker knows choice." As — Aziz Ansari

Encyclopedia Quotes By Nancy Garden

I went downstairs to Dad's encyclopedia and looked up HOMOSEXUALITY, but that didn't tell me much about any of the things I felt. What struck me most, though, was that, in the whole long article, the word "love" wasn't used even once. That made me mad; it was as if whoever wrote the article didn't know that gay people actually love each other. The encyclopedia writers ought to talk to me, I thought as I went back to bed; I could tell them something about love. — Nancy Garden

Encyclopedia Quotes By Henry Louis Gates

You have a diasporic black world, and the only way to put it back together again is symbolic. It's like Humpty Dumpty. Whoever could edit the 'Encyclopedia Africana' would provide symbolic order to the fragments created over the past 500 years. That is a major contribution. — Henry Louis Gates

Encyclopedia Quotes By Eric Liu

There was an omnivorous intellect that won him the family sobriquet of Walking Encyclopedia. — Eric Liu

Encyclopedia Quotes By LeBron James

There's no encyclopedia or book about parenthood. You learn on the fly. — LeBron James

Encyclopedia Quotes By Celph Titled

You couldn't drop knowledge if you threw an Encyclopedia off a cliff. — Celph Titled

Encyclopedia Quotes By Juan Felipe Herrera

What I really had was stories, the oral traditions of my parents. We moved so much that that was really our encyclopedia. A dream world told to me from my parents in the living room. — Juan Felipe Herrera

Encyclopedia Quotes By Bruce Springsteen

Elvis is my religion. But for him, I'd be selling encyclopedias right now. — Bruce Springsteen

Encyclopedia Quotes By E. O. Wilson

What we need is an electronic encyclopedia of life, with one page for each species. On each page is given everything known about that species. — E. O. Wilson

Encyclopedia Quotes By Tyler Edwards

God doesn't expect us to be a walking encyclopedia of biblical knowledge. He wants us to know Him, to be in a relationship with Him. This means not only hearing but allowing our understanding of God to change the way we live. Like the wise builder who laid the foundation of his house on the rock, we learn to let our knowledge of God change us. — Tyler Edwards

Encyclopedia Quotes By Marni Bates

I never would have seen Chelsea reach up, take Logan's face in her hands, and kiss him. So the off again was definitely on again. And I knew then that Patrick was very wrong about my heart, because if it had actually been an encyclopedia I could have watched it all with perfect composure. — Marni Bates

Encyclopedia Quotes By Gwen Raverat

You can have no idea, if you have not tried, how difficult it is to find out anything whatever from an encyclopedia, unless you know all about it already ... — Gwen Raverat

Encyclopedia Quotes By Matthea Harvey

When I have my students do erasures, I'm always amazed by the way their voice comes through, whether they're doing an erasure of a romance novel or an encyclopedia. Your sensibility will out. — Matthea Harvey

Encyclopedia Quotes By Jimmy Wales

The goal is to give people a free encyclopedia to every person in the world, in their own language. Not just in a 'free beer' kind of way, but also in the free speech kind of way. — Jimmy Wales

Encyclopedia Quotes By Ursula K. Le Guin

The Encyclopedia Planaria, in forty-four volumes, is not portable, and after all, what is entirely reliable unless it's dead? — Ursula K. Le Guin

Encyclopedia Quotes By Clive Thompson

A textbook requires a consistent sense of style and a linear structure, hallmarks of a single authorial presence. An encyclopedia doesn't. — Clive Thompson

Encyclopedia Quotes By Jorge Luis Borges

The man who acquires an encyclopedia does not thereby acquire every line, every paragraph, every page, and every illustration; he acquires the possibility of becoming familiar with one and another of those things. — Jorge Luis Borges

Encyclopedia Quotes By Erma Bombeck

It is upsetting to many parents that their teen-agers introduce them to their friends as encyclopedia salesmen who are just passing through ... if they introduce them at all. I have some acquaintances who hover in dark parking lots, enter church separately and crouch in furnace rooms so their teen-agers will not be accused of having parents. — Erma Bombeck

Encyclopedia Quotes By Jimmy Wales

People take issue with individual aspects of Wikipedia all the time. But it's kind of hard to hate the general idea of a free encyclopedia. It's like hating kittens. — Jimmy Wales

Encyclopedia Quotes By Debbie Stoller

In a book published at the time, a lace manufacturer admitted that he expected his workers to turn a few tricks on the side to make up for his not paying them a living wage. Soon lace, including crocheted lace, began to be seen as morally tainted - it's made by prostitutes! As Donna Kooler suggests in The Encyclopedia of Crochet, this may even explain how the word "hooker" came to have such wayward connotations. — Debbie Stoller

Encyclopedia Quotes By Oriana Fallaci

I always introduce myself as an encyclopedia of defects which I do not deny. Why should I? It took me a whole life to build myself as I am. — Oriana Fallaci

Encyclopedia Quotes By Alberto Manguel

The world encyclopedia, the universal library, exists, and it is the world itself. — Alberto Manguel

Encyclopedia Quotes By Yogi Berra

I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did. — Yogi Berra

Encyclopedia Quotes By Wylie Dufresne

As a pure source of reference, 'Modernist Cuisine' is incredibly helpful. It's like a modern-day encyclopedia, except for a single subject. It's not always the answer, but it's always a starting point. I feel honored to have been able to contribute to it. — Wylie Dufresne

Encyclopedia Quotes By Margaret Atwood

Encyclopedia-selling was known to be the last resort of the feckless, the inept, and the desperate — Margaret Atwood
