"I think my problem is this strange relationship between the knowledge, learning, theory and the real story I know very well -. And I think I've known since my childhood - that knowledge has not the power change the world. maybe I am wrong. And I am sure that I got from a theoretical point of injustice, for I know very well that the knowledge has changed the world.
But when I refer to my own experience I have a feeling that the knowledge can do nothing for us, and that political power is capable of destroying us. All knowledge of the world, I prefer not to to. All the things I say, depends not with whom, what I think in theory (I know it is wrong), but with what I deduced from my own experience. I know that knowledge has power to transform us, that truth is not merely a way to decipher the world [...], but I when I tell the truth to be transformed will. And perhaps saved. Or will I die then, but I glabue in any case that it is the same for me, "
[Michel Foucault: Dits et Ecrits IV, p. 654]
