Mostly Harmless (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, #5)

by Douglas Adams

You see, the quality of any advice anybody has to offer has to be judged against the quality of life they actually lead.

“You cannot see what I see because you see what you see. You cannot know what I know because you know what you know. What I see and what I know cannot be added to what you see and what you know because they are not of the same kind. Neither can it replace what you see and what you know, because that would be to replace you yourself.”

‘Protect me from knowing what I don’t need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don’t know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.’

It can be very dangerous to see things from somebody else’s point of view without the proper training.
