There are those who know and those who don't know. And for every ten thousand who don't know there's only one who knows. That's the miracle of all time--the fact that these millions know so much but don't know this.

Carson McCullers
About This Quote

When one is fortunate enough to be surrounded by people who know more than they do, they can come to see themselves as ignorant and stupid. They can come to believe that what they don't know is greater than what they do know. Then, the moment comes when they discover that there are even more things to learn and they become even more determined to continue their education.
