“And as the Society reminds us, there's a difference between knowledge and technology. Knowledge doesn't fail us.”
“All of us fail, but this doesn't mean we are failures.”
“Just because you fail once doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything.”
“It doesn't matter if you try and try and try again, and fail. It does matter if you try and fail, and fail to try again.”
“But isn't the knowledge that comes from experience more valuable than the knowledge that doesn't? It seems fairly obvious to some of us that a lot of scholars need to go outside and sniff around - walk through the grass, talk to the animals. That sort of thing.”
