"Some things you can't find out; but..." - Quote by Mark Twain
Some things you can't find out; but you will never know you can't by guessing and supposing: no, you have to be patient and go on experimenting until you find out that you can't find out.

More on Knowledge
“No language exists that cannot be misused... Every Interpretation is hypothetical, for it is a mere attempt to read an unfamiliar text.”
“Those who have knowledge are more confident than those who have no knowledge, and they are more confident after they have learned than before.”
“People often say to me, 'I understand what you are talking about intellectually, but I don't really feel it, I don't realize it,' and I am apt to reply, 'I wonder whether you do understand it intellectually, because if you did you would also feel it.'”
More on Discovery
“The writer is an explorer. Every step is an advance into a new land.”
“To every man, in his acquaintance with a new art, there comes a moment when that which before was meaningless first lifts, as it were, one corner of the curtain that hides its mystery, and reveals, in a burst of delight which later and fuller understanding can hardly ever equal, one glimpse of the indefinite possibilities within.”
“What you can't imagine, you can't discover.”
