“The moment we realize that we don’t grasp what we know can be a watershed in our lives. The day we start to accept what we already know may perhaps be very bewildering, at first, but anyway, utmost eye-opening.

At that instant, the undercover challenge between “knowing and not knowing” can finally be settled. “To know, or not to know, that is the question!”
(“"Wrong time. Wrong place"”)”
― Erik Pevernagie

― Lili Wilkinson, Green Valentine
