aelisdeliria lent me a book, called _Welcome to the Ark_, by Stephanie S. Tolan. It's... captivating. I _must_ own this book.

The reason I'm writing right now is a quote which I had to share...

"How smart do you feel?"
"Comparatively?"
"No. Just you yourself. How smart do you really feel?"
"Truth?"
"Of course, truth!"
"I've spent my whole life trying not to know how scary it was to have people call me the smartest kid in the world. Because I don't know anything."


*shiver* Yeah. Not to that degree, but yeah.

I've found that as I've learned more that one of the principle things that I learn is how little I know.
