On the contrary, should not a man know everything, excel in manifold activities, initiate you into the energies of passion, the refinements of life, all mysteries?
— Flaubert, Madame Bovary
I should like to know everything, and I know nothing. Perhaps you yourself know no more than I do.
— Choderlos de Laclos, Dangerous Liaisons, Letter 65
