"To
know that we know what we know, and to know that we do not know what we
do not know, that is true knowledge." Nicolaus Copernicus
I know that I know nothing. Another quote by a smart guy, Socrates. He was so right then as he is now.
"If
books could have more, give more, be more, show more, they would still
need readers who bring to them sound and smell and light and all the
rest that can’t be in books. The book needs you. " Gary Paulsen
That's a good point. I'm glad I can contribute to the meaning of existence for books.
"Too much of anything is bad, but too many books is barely enough." N.N.
Definitely true.

Love that Gary Paulsen quote; it's not one I've heard before.
ReplyDeleteI also think that it's great, Lark. Yes, some quotes we have heard before, they come around again and again, others not so much. I don't even remember when I saw this, I write them down and then use them at some point.
