Gore Vidal on knowledge

I am at heart a propagandist, a tremendous hater, a tiresome nag, complacently positive that there is no human problem which could not be solved if people would simply do as I advise.

American writers want to be not good but great; and so are neither.

Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.

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
