An Interesting Thought

Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about?
It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world.

It wouldn't be half so interesting if we know all about everything, would it?
There would be no scope for imagination then, would there?

I'm pretty sure that I KNEW it all, forgot it, and am re-learning everything, every day =D

That is an good quote. I am glad I don't know everything. Intrigue and mystery keep life interesting. Sometimes it is better to not know.

So true, Judy. If all of us knew about everything, then life would be just an ordinary thing. And I still wanted life to be extraordinary.

Love the light (and colors) in this photo! And the quote is so perfect, sounds just like Anne, a good thought to think. BTW, I saw a hummingbird on my lantana the other day.

What a boring world it would be if we knew everything. Learning something new every day keeps our minds and imaginations active. Curiosity is the father of invention.

Gorgeous photo!

I brought you a cyber-turbo fan to help cool you down. 37 degrees? Now that's HOT! I hope things cool down for you soon!

Hugsss back at'cha!

I like this quote. It is very true. And there is some innocence to it as well.
