¶ Naivete
Index Entry
Naivete:
“Naivete means not knowing it all, not being a sucker about everything, not pretending to know about the safety razor in the pyramid. Too many people miss things because they dismiss them when they think they know all about them. Be as a child and a child is naive. Adults say young people must get over that sensibility but I say we must open it up again. I feel very much about life as I did as a child. Once I was blasé about flowers as something for funerals but now I try to look at a flower as a child seeing it for the first time.”
