About This Quote
This quote is basically saying that the world is full of things that we don't know about. For example, if you're born blind, you don't know what it's like to see. Or, if you're born deaf, you don't know what it's like to hear. The same is true for other people who are born blind, deaf, dumb or otherwise handicapped. This quote says that once we know something, we can't imagine what it would be like not to know it.
