About This Quote
I know that I do not know, and uncertainty, certainly, is the cruelest of words. This quote from The Guardian captures the essence of insecurity. This quote speaks to a person who doesn't know what they don't know and who refuses to admit it. The speaker here says that they know there is a lot they don't know, but they will never say it out loud because if they did so they would have to deal with the consequences. They would have to face their own ignorance and would be forced to accept that they are not as knowledgeable or intelligent as they think. Instead, the speaker will make up excuses for their lack of knowledge and intelligence, hoping that no one will ever call them on it.
