As to knowledge................

"Dr. Bernard Lown, the famed Boston cardiologist, once quoted T. S. Eliot as asking:  'Where is the wisdom we lost in knowledge?  Where is the knowledge we lost in information?'
     "The sequence is carried even further in the comment by Samuel Johnson:  'Knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.'  Or Plato:  'Knowledge apart from justice is not knowledge, but cunning.'"
-Norman Cousins, Human Options
