Summary

This quote highlights the importance of seeking knowledge and understanding. It suggests that in our pursuit of knowledge, we have two potential outcomes: either we will discover what we are searching for, or we will come to the realization that there are certain things beyond our comprehension. It emphasizes the value of intellectual curiosity and the willingness to challenge our own assumptions and beliefs. By acknowledging our limitations and being open to constant learning, we can liberate ourselves from the false notion that we possess all knowledge and allow room for personal growth and discovery.
