While tacit knowledge can be possessed by itself, explicit knowledge must rely on being tacitly understood and applied.

Hence all knowledge is either tacit or rooted in tacit knowledge.

A wholly explicit knowledge is unthinkable.

Michael Polanyi (1891 - 1976) Scientist turned Philosopher

Quotations are extremely effective at capturing and concisely communicating thoughts and ideas. They can be inspirational but more importantly quotations can help us reveal and assess the assumptions, values and beliefs that underlie the ways in which we perceive the world.

I have compiled over 800 quotations and short excerpts on this website. It is an eclectic mix but most of them are inspirational or insightful in nature and relate to knowledge, learning or personal development in some form.

If you love quotations as much as I do then you may wish to register to have a quote e-mailed to you once a week or more frequently by clicking on the button below and completing the form.

Quotations from Michael Polanyi:

 Into every act of knowing there enters a passionate contribution of the person knowing what is being known and that this coefficient is no mere imperfection but a vital component of his knowledge.
