Scholars and artists thrown together are often annoyed at the puzzle of where they differ. Both work from knowledge; but I suspect they differ most importantly in the way their knowledge is come by. Scholars get theirs with conscientious thoroughness along projected lines of logic; poets theirs cavalierly and as it happens in and out of books. They stick to nothing deliberately, but let what will stick to them like burrs where they walk in the fields.
–Robert Frost
Is that really how a scholar works? They just really dig deep into existing logic and push it along further? Couldn’t the scholars work kinda be the same where they walk the fields of logic and have their knowledge come in a similiar cavalier nature?
I was looking up quotes with the word “puzzle” in it for some tshirts we are designing at work. And came across this neat quote.
