"Know Thyself"

Appearance
Matrix
- The phrase "Know Thyself" -

I am reading 'Octavius' by Minucius Felix (a Latin book, written around 200 A.D.) and in the Notes I came across the phrase 'Know Thyself' (which doesn't actually have anything to do with the book 'Octavius'). The translator (a professor) said that the phrase came from Thales (I don't know if he is also called so in English) and that what he actually meant with it was:

"...know that you are an (earthbound) human, and not a (high) god."

I thought that was very striking and somewhat of a remarkable paradox, looking at the context of the phrase in the movie.

-from Isil'zha from Holland
