A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge, and Other Selected Writings Quotes

“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 behold the fairest tree of knowledge, whose fruit is excellent, and within the reach of our hand.”
― George Berkeley, A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge, and Other Selected Writings
