    Gnawing hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

    A better question would be: "What is love?"

    True knowledge is accepting that all things come to an end, in my opinion. If you have realized this, you're free.

    Just like Nikos Kazantzakis: "I fear nothing, I hope for nothing; I am free".

    I cannot believe I missed that. I saw the thread title for a second time, then rushed in, but beaten to it.

    Knowledge is facts and things that can be taught to you. Wisdom is a different idea, and what the socrates quote is in reference too. Knowledge is knowing how to get somewhere, wisdom is knowing where to go. Ehhh, whatever, I just made that up.

    Knowledge is what you know. Wisdom is knowing how to apply it.

    A bit of an oversimplification, but, to me, that's the basic idea.
    Tallyho lads, rape the houses and burn the women! Leave not a single potted plant alive! Full speed ahead and damn the cheesemongers!
