Knowledge is within reach once we look past words, not through learned research
Drawn from what George Berkeley said
What George Berkeley actually said
- George Berkeley Anglo-Irish philosopher and bishop (1685 to 1753)
In vain do we extend our view into the heavens and pry into the entrails of the earth, in vain do we consult the writings of learned men and trace the dark footsteps of antiquity--we need only draw the curtain of words, to hold the fairest tree of knowledge, whose fruit is excellent, and within the reach of our hand.
