Those who are already wise no longer love wisdom - whether they are gods or men.
Similarly, those whose own ignorance as made them bad, rotten, evil,
do not strive for wisdom either. For no evil or ignorant person ever strives
for wisdom.
What remains are those who suffer from ignorance but still retain some sense
and understanding. They are conscious of knowing what they don't know.
~Socrates, in Plato's Lysis, 4th c. BC
