The small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify we give the name of knowledge.

Summary

This quote suggests that what we perceive as knowledge or understanding is often just a small fraction of the overall ignorance that exists in the world. It implies that we tend to organize this limited understanding into categories and systems, labeling it as knowledge. In other words, our knowledge is subjective and driven by our own interpretations and classifications, which may not necessarily reflect the true nature of reality. It serves as a reminder of the vastness of unknown possibilities and the limitations of human comprehension.
