Matching Quote
"The ceaseless, senseless demand for original scholarship in a number of fields, where only erudition is now possible, has led either to sheer

, the famous knowing of more and more about less and less, or to the development of a pseudo- scholarship which actually destroys its object."
-Hannah Arendt
