Summary

This quote suggests that having a sense of doubt, or being open to questioning and uncertainty, is an important trait of wisdom.

By embracing doubt and being open to questioning, individuals can continually learn, grow, and make informed decisions.

I have known her longer, my smile said. True, you have been inside the circle of her arms, tasted her mouth, felt the warmth of her, and that is something I have never had.

I will still be here long after she has forgotten your name.
