Wasn't it written somewhere something to the effect that "you'll know not the time nor the place"

Yep. It also is written as a command for you to know the season as well...

Matthew 24 addresses that. Jesus states that we can know when it's approaching but not specifially when it's going to happen.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=47&chapter=24&version=31

In particular verses 32-36.

32"Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. 34 I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
36"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Correct. But, it was also written that there will be signs such as wars, earthquakes and other natural disasters and good being called evil while evil is called good. Just as seeing the green leaves and shoots on a fig tree heralds the imminent coming of figs, so will the increasing signs herald the imminence of the final days.
