About This Quote

This is a statement that can easily be misinterpreted. On the surface it looks like the person saying the sentence is talking about a person who is very smart and knows a lot of words. However, when you look closer it becomes clear that the person is not talking about knowledge but about the way the words are used. For example, consider this sentence: The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

It does not make any sense to say that the sun rises in the east and sets in west because we can see how it travels across the sky with our own eyes. The fact is that we believe there is a sun and we know its movements because we have seen it with our own eyes – we’ve seen it rise and set.
