Ignorance doesn't lead to salvation, nor does knowledge pave the way to sin. It is said that Cinda Williams Chima, a fictional character in the fantasy novel, "The Wizard of Earthsea," is a wise woman who has lived a long life and has learned many things, sometimes ignoring what she knows and learning new things. In the novel, her last words are: "This is not ignorance; these are truths I don't know. I must learn them and teach them and pass them on."
