He knows all about art, but he doesn't know what he likes

James Thurber was an American author and cartoonist known for his witty and satirical writing style. He often explored themes of human nature, relationships, and the absurdity of everyday life in his works. One recurring theme in Thurber's writing is the idea of knowing about something without truly understanding or appreciating it. This is exemplified in the statement, "He knows all about art, but he doesn't know what he likes."
