Richard Francis Burton on knowledge

Reason is Life’s sole arbiter, the magic Laby’rinth’s single clue:
Worlds lie above, beyond its ken; what crosses it can ne’er be true.

All Faith is false, all Faith is true: Truth is the shattered mirror strown
In myriad bits; while each believes his little bit the whole to own.

Travellers like poets are mostly an angry race.

One thing only I know, and that is that I know nothing.

Socrates470–399 BC

Information is not knowledge.

There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.

Socrates470–399 BCII: xxxi. Original Greek: ἓν μόνον ἀγαθὸν εἶναι, τὴν ἐπιστήμην, καὶ ἓν μόνον κακόν, τὴν ἀμαθίαν

• Good & Evil
