“There are those who seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge; that is curiosity. There are those who seek knowledge to be known by others; that is vanity. There are those who seek knowledge in order to serve; that is Love.”

— Bernard of Clairvaux, Sermons on the Song of Songs, trans. Kilian Walsh (Kalamazoo, MI: Cistercian Publications, 1971), 1:4.
