This is the price you must pay for knowledge: You must understand and acknowledge its consequences.

Jack Faust (1997)

The authority of superior knowledge was different in kind from the authority of assumed power. Still, he felt a little awkward assuming it.

Bones of the Earth (2002)

(Information is information, Faust. Knowledge is knowledge. I make no distinction between the high and the low.)

Jack Faust (1997)

Faust had no delusions of Heavenly aid. An involved and benevolent deity would have helped him long years ago when, young, he had yearned for knowledge as achingly as now and with far fewer stains on his soul.

Jack Faust (1997)
