Dan Millman Quotes

And where," Socrates smiled, "is the universe?"The universe is well, there are theories about how it's shaped..."That's not what I asked. Where is it?"I don't know - how can I answer that?"That is the point. You cannot answer it, and you never will. There is no knowing about it. You are ignorant of where the universe is, and thus, where you are. In fact, you have no knowledge of where anything is or of What anything is or how is came to be. Life is a mystery."My ignorance is based on this understanding. Your understanding is based on ignorance. This is why I am a humorous fool, and you are a serious jackass.
