"The more you know, the more you realize you don't know."
— Aristotle
The More You Know The More
The more you know, the more you realize you don't know.
About this quote
This saying is not found in Aristotle's surviving works. The sentiment more closely echoes the famous paradox of Socrates in Plato's Apology — that his wisdom consisted in knowing that he did not know. Aristotle's own Metaphysics opens with "All men by nature desire to know," an expression of intellectual curiosity rather than the humility of acknowledged ignorance.
