"بخش کوچکی از نادانی که ما مرتب و طبقهبندی میکنیم نام دانش میدهیم"

Simplified Meaning:
We think we know a lot because we take bits of what we do not understand and try to make sense of them. This makes us believe we are knowledgeable. Imagine you have a puzzle, but only a few pieces. You try to put those pieces together and imagine the whole picture. It gives you some idea, but you really don’t see the entire image. In the same way, our understanding of the world is limited. We should stay curious and keep learning because there's always more to discover. Just because we organize what little we know, it doesn't mean we have all the answers. It’s a reminder to stay humble and open-minded.
