Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers.
Meaning of the quote
An intellectual, someone who loves learning and thinking deeply, can often find themselves with more questions than answers. The more you learn, the more you realize how much you don't know. This can be both exciting and frustrating, as it means you'll always have more to discover and understand about the world around you.
