As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.

Noam Chomsky, who knows nothing. (via incorrectnoamchomskyquotes)

Sounds like Aristotle. it is an aristotle quote isn’t it

(via lakrymosa)

A similar quote, which becomes a philosophical theme, is said by Socrates in Plato’s Apology from The Trial and Death of Socrates at 21d:

I am wiser than this man; it is likely that neither of us knows anything worthwhile, but he thinks he knows something when he does not, whereas when I do not know, neither do I think I know; so I am likely to be wiser than he to this small extent, that I do not think I know what I do not know.
