Science Quotes by Vissarion Grigorievich Belinskii (1)

In science one must search for ideas. If there are no ideas, there is no science. A knowledge of facts is only valuable in so far as facts conceal ideas: facts without ideas are just the sweepings of the brain and the memory.

— Vissarion Grigorievich Belinskii
