To them, I said, the truth would be literally nothing but the shadows of the images.

What a lot of things I don't need.

The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as if they alone knew everything and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. As for girls, they are forward, immodest and unwomanly in speech, behaviour and dress.

To know, is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge. For a man who claims to have knowledge, while actually knowing nothing, is less smarter than you, who claim to know nothing.

Only the extremely ignorant or the extremely intelligent can resist change.

If what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all

I know that I know nothing.
