"[...] only knowledge can be possessed." is a line from Robert Steiner's preface to his book Toward a grammar of abstraction: modernity, Wittgenstein and the paintings of Jackson Pollock
| Courage: | Only knowledge can be possessed. |
| Prudence: | But can it be given? |
| Temperance: | Is there not a confusion here between knowledge and wisdom? |
| Justice: | How do we have knowing of such confusion? |
| Courage: | I begin to understand. Only knowing can be possessed. |
| Prudence: | But can it be taken? |
| Temperance: | Is there not a confusion here between "learning" and "knowing"? |
| Justice: | How do we learn to know? |
