Any fool can see the limits of seeing, but not even the wisest know the limits of knowing. Thus is ignorance rendered invisible, and are all Men made fools.

About This Quote

The saying exists in many forms, but the essence of it is that knowledge always contains more than can be known. This holds true for the greatest things in life, for example love. There are so many things about love that we can never understand or never even comprehend. We may be able to define the word, but we will never know why it exists.

It is possible to define love, but one wonders how it could possibly be so very different from what we know of ourselves? It seems that love has its own set of rules that are constantly changing. Love has its own mysteries that are constantly being uncovered. Love is constantly evolving and changing, yet there are always new things to uncover.

For this reason, everything about love is constantly evolving and changing.
