We only think we know something until we learn about it. Then we actually learn how much we do not know. It is when you know that you do not know, that you can truly begin to learn. ...

I cannot help, if you do not want the help, or if you already know. ...
I know I do not know enough, so I will keep studying. ...
Butcher, For real?? Really!? (Lol) These statements are so true to my heart it’s creepy.
The more I learn, the more I do not know. The more I do not know, the more I need to learn. At some point the crevice of knowledge opens up & sucks you in.
It’s the bane of my existence & the irony of my life. I am addicted to it & it makes me crazy.
Like perpetual motion, knowing anything is a landslide of the unknown. It’s like looking through the looking-glass, it defies all known facts & opens worlds of thought.
I will never know enough. Not solely refining methods, but about photosynthesis or the semi-nuclear gravitational pull of the Universe, or how mushrooms can be animalistic & predatory in character, yet retain biological paternalistic evolutionary patterns of plants. Under microscope the intensities only increases. This is just to name a very, very small few of my questions.
What I don’t know haunts me & drives me to know more. When I realized I knew close to nothing in the expanse of knowledge it was so overwhelming.
It is like a window of opportunity. We can either chose the path of ignorance & bliss or opt the road less taken. It’s hard & rocky & rarely rewarding but at the very least it holds the truth.
The search for knowledge knows no time. If you have it you are cursed & yet freed but shackled all the same. An oxymoron by definition.
“There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there”
“I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.”
“The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.”
“Information is not knowledge.”
“No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.”
“Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.”
“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”
“Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.”
“Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.”
“The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.”
