Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

Better know nothing than half-know many things

Better know nothing than half-know many things

Summary

This quote suggests that it is better to have no knowledge at all than to only possess a partial understanding of many things. It emphasizes the importance of depth and quality over breadth and quantity when it comes to knowledge. It implies that superficial knowledge or limited understanding can lead to misguided perceptions and false assumptions. Rather than being knowledgeable in various subjects without proper comprehension, the quote encourages individuals to seek deeper knowledge and understanding in fewer areas for a more meaningful and accurate understanding of the world.
