About This Quote

This quote is about the nature of knowledge. It refers to the nature of how people see knowledge and how they think it should be obtained. The quote suggests that everyone has a right to know how to do something, and not everyone knows everything. This is because people do not know everything, and because people do not know everything, they should be humble enough to admit that they do not know all the answers. It also suggests that it might be better to pretend that you know something than to just admit that you don’t.
