Marilynne Robinson Quotes
Text Quotes
To recognize our bias toward error should teach us modesty and reflection, and to forgive it should help us avoid the inhumanity of thinking we ourselves are not as fallible as those who, in any instance, seem most at fault. Science can give us knowledge, but it cannot give us wisdom. Nor can religion, until it puts aside nonsense and distraction and becomes itself again (Marilynne Robinson Quotes)
Many times when I stop working on a problem consciously, my mind continues to work on it below the surface. Often solutions come on me quite by surprise. I’ve learned over time to allow that to happen, rather than to feel that I can simply solve the problem by continuous, grueling effort (Marilynne Robinson Quotes)
