Eventually, while researching, you'll learn something you didn't want to know. Some fact that ruins a plotline you had in mind. The good news is that sometimes, learning all the facts can make for a much more interesting story than you originally had in mind.
This quote highlights the unpredictable nature of discovery and the charm of embracing new information. When pursuing knowledge, especially in storytelling or research, unexpected facts can disrupt our initial plans or ideas. However, these surprises often enrich the narrative by adding depth, realism, or fresh perspectives. Rather than seeing unexpected truths as obstacles, we can choose to view them as opportunities to improve or deepen our understanding, leading to more compelling and authentic stories.
