Zitat des Tages über Nutzloses Wissen / Useless Knowledge:

The university's business is the conservation of useless knowledge; and what the university itself apparently fails to see is that this enterprise is not only noble but indispensable as well, that society can not exist unless it goes on. Albert J. Nock

Albert J. Nock

There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.

Bertrand Russell

Useless knowledge can be made directly contributory to a force of sound and disinterested public opinion.

Albert J. Nock

Life has obliged him to remember so much useful knowledge that he has lost not only his history, but his whole original cargo of useless knowledge; history, languages, literatures, the higher mathematics, or what you will - are all gone.
