“In our country, learned ignorance is on the rise.”

“A country either elevates the ignorant to the level of the learned or it itself sinks down to the level of the ignorant.”

“To the country dug into our lives like a grave,to the country etherized, and killed,a sun rises from our paralyzed historyinto our millennial sleep”

“The more we learn about the world, and the deeper our learning, the more conscious, specific, and articulate will be our knowledge of what we do not know; our knowledge of our ignorance. For this indeed, is the main source of our ignorance - the fact that our knowledge can be only finite, while our ignorance must necessarily be infinite.”

“How I hate ignorance! Caliban’s ignorance, my ignorance, the world’s ignorance! Oh, I could learn and learn and learn and learn. I could cry, I want to learn so much.”

“The learned man understands the ignorant for he was once ignorant himself. The ignorant man does not understand the learned for he has never been learned himself.”
