People always want to know things .. . until they hear them, and then it's too late. Knowledge is a rug of a certain size, and the world is larger. It's not what remains uncovered at the edges that should worry you, rather what is swept beneath.

This quote means that people always want to know things but rarely do they ever take the time to figure out exactly what it is they are looking for. When people have no idea what they are looking for, they will never find it.
