Background Knowledge

Famous quotes containing the words background and/or knowledge:

    “... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”

    “Yet to speak of the whole world as metaphor
    Is still to stick to the contents of the mind
    And the desire to believe in a metaphor.
    It is to stick to the nicer knowledge of
    Belief, that what it believes in is not true.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
