The Circle of Reason QUOTES

1 " The difference, Gopal told the Rationalists, between the Science Association and their own society was that they did not consider science alone, something people pursued in the seclusion of laboratories, important in itself. He himself was studying not science but English literature. Their aim was the application of rational principles to everything around them—to their own lives, to society, to religion, to history. It didn’t matter what. "

― Amitav Ghosh , The Circle of Reason

2 " Children go to school for their first glimpse into the life of the mind. Not for jobs. If I thought that my teaching is nothing but a means of finding jobs, I’d stop teaching tomorrow. "

― Amitav Ghosh , The Circle of Reason
