the Cains and Abels of ignorance

Kurt Vonnegut:

“Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way.”

George MacDonald:

“But indeed the business of the universe is to make such a fool of you that you will know yourself for one, and so begin to be wise!”
