About this quote

This line points readers back toward inquiry instead of easy certainty. It is strong for learning, research, and any moment when better questions can open a better path.

When to use it

  • Keep it as a reminder to test assumptions instead of rushing toward the first explanation that feels comfortable.
  • Return to it when a conversation needs more wonder, patience, and willingness to investigate.
  • Share it with students, founders, or researchers who need to stay open-minded while working through uncertainty.
