Quote from Greece
"Φοβάμαι τον άνθρωπο του ενός βιβλίου"
Θωμάς Ακινάτης
"Timeo hominem unius libri"
Thomas Aquinas
(I fear a) man of a single book
By Christos,
Petroupoli
Interpretation
Aquinas' words are generally quoted today in disparagement of the man whose mental horizons are limited to one book. Aquinas, however, meant that a man who has thoroughly mastered one good book can be dangerous as an opponent.
The Greek poet Archilochus meant something like this when he said that "the fox knows many things but the hedgehog knows one big thing"

After some discussion we agreed this photo will best describe our knowledge: the more we read - the more we know and more flexible we are and then won't be "men of one book"...
