We have all forgot more than we remember.

We have all forgot more than we remember.

Summary

This quote suggests that human beings tend to forget or overlook a significant amount of information or experiences throughout their lives. Despite our capacity to remember a vast array of knowledge and memories, there is an even larger portion of things that we have forgotten. It points to the idea that forgetfulness is intrinsic to the human condition, and highlights the limits of our memory and the impermanence of the information we encounter.
