Talk:Knowledge

Why the hell Britney Spears-like stuff reside here?

Shouldn't this page contain quotes on the concept "knowledge" itself?

Source of quote

"The more you know, the more you realise that you know nothing." - Unknown I have seen a simillar quote in the w:Talmud. Thought the wording would be more likely be translated to, "The more you learn, the more you realise how little you learnt." 220.233.48.200 18:53, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Credit where it's due

The quote from "Learning to Fly" by Chris Collison was contributed originally by 213.78.132.162 (talk · contributions). Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 15:09, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

It was also reformatted by Rmhermen, which is a legitimate contribution to the quote as transferred. (There were other subsequent article changes by others, but none that affected the quote itself.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:27, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
