20258 | Most people treat knowledge as a private possession [Nietzsche] |
Full Idea: Most people take a thing they know under their protection, as if knowing it turned it into their possession. | |
From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Dawn (Daybreak) [1881], 285) | |
A reaction: A typically wicked and subtle remark. This presumably makes knowledge part of the will to power, with which Francis Bacon would presumably agree. |
