The Aesthetics and Beauty of Knowledge
Shih was the opposite of facts and raw information; shih was the elegance of knowledge, the insight and skill to organize knowledge into meaningful patterns.

The aesthetics and beauty of knowledge – this was shih.
– David Zindell, The Broken God, 1993

– Martin Delaney – “Laptop Music”.
