"How little we know of what there..." - Quote by Ernest Hemingway
How little we know of what there is to know. I wish that I were going to live a long time instead of going to die today because I have learned much about life in these four days; more, I think than in all other time. I'd like to be an old man to really know. I wonder if you keep on learning or if there is only a certain amount each man can understand. I thought I knew so many things that I know nothing of. I wish there was more time.

More on Knowledge
“Do not require a description of the countries towards which you sail. The description does not describe them to you, and to- morrow you arrive there, and know them by inhabiting them.”
“When a person supposes that he knows, and does not know; this appears to be the great source of all the errors of the intellect.”
“When we have arrived at the question, the answer is already near.”
More on Learning
“The one to distrust is the person who never makes a mistake, never commits a blunder, never fails in what he tries to do. Either he is a phony, or he stays with the safe, the tried and the trivial.”
“How can one learn to know oneself? Never by introspection, rather by action.”
“Information is not knowledge.”
