It is what we think we know that keeps us from learning.

Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned.

Education consists mainly in what we have unlearned.

What we're learning in our schools is not the wisdom of life. We're learning technologies, we're getting information. There's a curious reluctance on the part of faculties to indicate the life values of their subjects.

Shall we educate ourselves in what is known, and then casting away all we have acquired, turn to ignorance for aid to guide us among the unknown?

Our knowledge is a little island in a great ocean of nonknowledge.

Sixty years ago I knew everything; now I know nothing; education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.

We see so much that we in fact see nothing, and we know so much that we no longer possess anything that is our own, that is to say, something we could not have learned, something that arises out of the virtues and errors of our own self

The things we know best are the things we haven't been taught.

The multitude of books is making us ignorant.

Experience teaches us, but we scarcely know what.

Our knowledge is a receding mirage in an expanding desert of ignorance.

All our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance.

The pretense of knowledge is our most dangerous vice, because it prevents us from getting any better.
