I learned very early the difference between knowing the name

Summary

This quote suggests that there is a distinction between having knowledge of the name or concept of something and truly understanding or knowing it. Merely recognizing the label or definition of a subject does not necessarily equate to deep understanding or expertise. It emphasizes the importance of going beyond superficial knowledge and delving deeper into the essence or true meaning of things in order to attain genuine understanding.
