Random and topical thoughts and quotes gathered by My Theatre Mates contributor Aleks Sierz, first published on www.sierz.co.uk.
“I was wrong. Knowledge is not truth, it is merely agreement. You agree with me, we agree with someone else, we all have knowledge but get no closer to the truth of the moon. You cannot understand by making definitions, only by turning over the possibilities. It’s called thinking. If I say I know, I stop thinking, but so long as I think, I come to understand, I might approach some truth.” – Professor in Terry Johnson’s Insignificance
