Biggest mistake Quote by A.J. Kazinski
““The biggest mistake we can make is to think that we've figured the whole thing out. The people I know who are the greatest skeptics, who are least certain about how the world and the universe works, are also the most intelligent… Absolute certainty is only for stupid people. It requires a certain intelligence for us to realize how little we actually know.””
