{{blockquote|"The modern mind divides, specializes, thinks in categories: the Greek instinct was the opposite, to take the widest view, to see things as an organic whole [...]. The [[Ancient Olympic Games|Olympic games]] were designed to test the [[arete]] of the whole man, not a merely specialized skill [...]. The great event was the [[pentathlon]], if you won this, you were a man. Needless to say, the Marathon race was never heard of until modern times: the Greeks would have regarded it as a monstrosity."<ref>{{cite book |title = The Greeks |url = https://archive.org/details/greeks00kitt |url-access = registration |last = Kitto |first = H.D.F. |publisher = Penguin |year = 1957 |isbn = 978-0140135213 |location = Middlesex |pages = [https://archive.org/details/greeks00kitt/page/173 173–4] }}</ref>}}

{{blockquote|"Previously, men could be divided simply into the learned and the ignorant, those more or less the one, and those more or less the other. But your specialist cannot be brought in under either of these two categories. He is not learned, for he is formally ignorant of all that does not enter into his specialty; but neither is he ignorant, because he is 'a scientist,' and 'knows' very well his own tiny portion of the universe. We shall have to say that he is a learned ignoramus, which is a very serious matter, as it implies that he is a person who is ignorant, not in the fashion of the ignorant man, but with all the petulance of one who is learned in his own special line."<ref>{{cite book |title = The Revolt of the Masses|last = Ortega y Gasset |first = José|publisher = New American Library|year = 1932|location = New York}}</ref>}}

{{blockquote|"It is the custom among those who are called 'practical' men to condemn any man capable of a wide survey as a visionary: no man is thought worthy of a voice in politics unless he ignores or does not know nine-tenths of the most important relevant facts."<ref>{{cite book |url=http://drnissani.net/MNISSANI/pagepub/NR.html |title=Lives in the Balance: the Cold War and American Politics, 1945-1991 |author1=Bertrand Russell |author2=Nissani, M. |publisher=Hollowbrook |year=1992 |isbn=978-0893416591 |access-date=15 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161019052230/http://drnissani.net/MNISSANI/pagepub/NR.html |archive-date=19 October 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref>}}
