"We shall be better and braver and less helpless if we
think that we ought to inquire, than we should have been
if we thought that there was no knowing and no duty to
seek to know what we do not know;--that is a belief for
which I am ready to fight, in word and deed, to
the utmost of my power." - Socrates (in The Meno
by Plato)
