Two Quotes

To Know... or Not to Know? There is something I don't know that I am supposed to know. I don't know what it is I don't know, and yet am supposed to know, And I feel I look stupid if I seem both NOT to know it and not know WHAT it is I don't know. Therefore, I pretend I know it. This is nerve-wracking since I don't know what I must pretend to know. Therefore, I pretend I know everything. R.D. Laing, Knots (1970)
