He [my father] taught me: "See that bird? It’s a Spencer's
    warbler." (I knew he didn't know the real name.)
    "Well, in Italian it's Chutto Lapittitda. In
    Portuguese, it is Bom Da Peida. ... You can know the
    name of the bird in all the languages of the world,
    but when you're finished, you'll know nothing
    whatsoever about the world. You'll know about the
    humans in different places, and what they call the
    bird. So let's look at the bird and see what it is
    doing -- that's what counts." I learned very early
    from my father the difference between knowing the
    name of something and knowing something.”
