Good idea ...

"It is time for writers to admit that nothing in this world makes sense. Only fools and charlatans think they know and understand everything. The stupider they are, the wider they conceive their horizons to be. And if an artist decides to declare that he understands nothing of what he sees — this in itself constitutes a considerable clarity in the realm of thought, and a great step forward."

- Anton Chekhov

  1. I concur. William Goldman, perhaps the wisest man ever to inhabit Hollywood, said of the place, "Nobody knows anything." He need not have limited the comment to Hollywood.
