Smartass Disciple: How the hell do we find the truth ?
Master of Stupidity: Just seek it with hope it’ll find you.

It's written, 'seek and ye shall find'. But first, 'imagine what you seek'.
Otherwise, you will end up searching everything everywhere forever.

Smartass Disciple: Master, please show me the way to the enlightenment.
Master of Stupidity: Walk with me! [but I won't let you try to surpass me].

If you want to find wilier race by common sense,
then you have just narrowed your searching area.

The naive lose it in dark woods, but seek it under the street lamps.

Sometimes..
I didn't know what I sought until I've found it.
