Knowing and understanding someone

Just found this quote on the Heron Beauty website:

Author Sam Keene talked once about how dangerous it is to a relationship to say you “know” someone or you “understand” them. This puts them in a small box. In truth, he claims, the longer you know someone, the deeper their mystery becomes. I have thought about this again and again and believe it to be true. We can hardly know the mystery of our selves in this lifetime, let alone someone else’s. When someone reveals their truth to me I feel deeply honored; to me it is the greatest gift a person can give.
