“Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don’t know we don’t know.”

Donald Rumsfeld

I have to say, that even though I might possess the ability to get easily fascinated by nice and creative things, I was nearly left without words by Rumsfeld’s upper quote which somebody has choosen to present on his Facebook profil. And I was absolutely astonished when I just discovered an article in the Slate Magazine from the year 2003, named “The Poetry of D.H. Rumsfeld - Recent Works by the Secretary of Defense“, where several quotes have been uncovered as what they are: Serious pieces of art.
