Knowledge can be powerful. But it can only be beautiful if there is more to it. If it is guided by something greater than the simple desire to enhance the potency of the mind.

About This Quote

Knowledge can be powerful. But it can only be beautiful if there is more to it. Knowledge itself is not the point, as you can learn practically anything and everything with the right amount of effort and determination. However, knowledge without a deeper meaning, knowledge without a reason why you should know this particular piece of information is useless. Knowledge can be powerful if it leads you to a greater understanding and brings out the best in you to become a better person.
