The greater our knowledge increases the more our ignorance unfolds.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In expanding the field of knowledge we but increase the horizon of ignorance.
The learning and knowledge that we have, is, at the most, but little compared with that of which we are ignorant.
We keep, in science, getting a more and more sophisticated view of our essential ignorance.
It is harder to conceal ignorance than to acquire knowledge.
Our knowledge is a receding mirage in an expanding desert of ignorance.
Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know - and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance.
It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and greater prospects.
As knowledge increases, wonder deepens.
Ignorance is never better than knowledge.
Even knowledge has to be in the fashion, and where it is not, it is wise to affect ignorance.
