“Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.”
“What I know at sixty, I knew as well at twenty. Forty years of a long, a superfluous, labor of verification.”
“Everybody knew everything now. Or did everybody know nothing? Nobody knew anything... Nobody could know everything.”
“Was I ignorant, then, when I was seventeen? I think not. I knew everything. A quarter-century's experience of life since then has added nothing to what I knew. The one difference is that at seventeen I had no 'realism'.”
“500 years ago Man "knew" the Earth was the center of the Universe. 500 years ago Man "knew" the Earth was flat. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.”
