L'ignorance qui se sait, qui se juge et qui se condamne, ce n'est pas une entière ignorance : pour l'être, il faut qu'elle s'ignore soi-même.

Ignorance which recognises, judges and blames itself is not total - complete ignorance requires self-ignorance.

    This observation is a gloss on Montaigne's famous motto: "Que sçay-je ?" (What do I know ?)
