When I was getting my degree, every question about the weather brought up far more questions that were mostly answered with *We don’t know*.

All the learning showed me not what we do know, but the massive amount of what we don’t know.

Scientists are almost as arrogant as doctors and medical professionals.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing for more reasons than one. At the very least, if feeds pride like nothing else.
