I am looking for a quote about pursuit of knowledge that will end up on a permanent display in a library of a mid-size American university. Can you help me? Something along our libertarian beliefs. It should be a "single-sentence quote from an author or historic figure on topics relevant to the pursuit of knowledge." Stefan counts as an author. Keep in mind, the library has the last word on the quote.

I think a quote from Stefan would be best because it could lead people here, but I couldn't find a good one that fits your criteria. Maybe one of these will work instead:

 

“Any fool can know. The point is to understand.”― Albert Einstein“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”― Daniel J. Boorstin"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom."― Aristotle“Never confuse a hunger for knowledge with a thirst for truth.”― Marty Rubin

That one is mind-blowingly awesome.  Thanks so much for posting it.  :)
