"Everybody gets told to write about what they know. The trouble with many of us is that at
the earlier stages of life we think we know
everything- or to put it more usefully, we
are often unaware of the scope and
structure of our ignorance."

Wednesday's Quote
Something worth thinking about from the pen of novelist Thomas Pynchon:
"Everybody gets told to write about what they
know. The trouble with many of us is that at
the earlier stages of life we think we know
everything- or to put it more usefully, we
are often unaware of the scope and
structure of our ignorance."
