Quotes by Marcelo Gleiser  (?)

“As the island of Knowledge grows, so do the shores of our ignorance –the boundary between the known and the unknown. Learning more about the world doesn’t lead to a point closer to a final destination but to more questions and mysteries.”
Marcelo Gleiser, The Island of Knowledge: The Limits of Science and the Search for Meaning

“The map of what we call reality is an ever-shifting mosaic of ideas.”
Marcelo Gleiser, The Island of Knowledge: The Limits of Science and the Search for Meaning

“Unless you are intellectually numb, you can’t escape the allure of the quantum, the tantalizing possibility that we are immersed in mystery, forever bound within the shores of the Island of Knowledge. Unless you are intellectually numb, you can’t escape the awe-inspiring feeling that the essence of reality is unknowable.”
Marcelo Gleiser, The Island of Knowledge: The Limits of Science and the Search for Meaning
