"If you know what you know and don't know you really know" basically means if you can accurately assess your own knowledge, then you are on the way to true understanding.

The repetitive usage of the word "know" makes this a tricky phrase.

Another way to say the same thing might be, "If you understand what you know and what you're clueless about, then you are on the way to enlightenment."

In an early book of Don McLean's lyrics there was a quote inside the front cover about finding 'magic' and then pulling it apart until the magic was gone. Can someone provide the actual quote?

I think it's something along the lines of 'If xomething makes you feel a certain way there is no reason to analyse it to find out why. So often we analyse what we feel and destroy whatever magic was there in the first place, and I believe in magic'. - or something to that extent. It was on the inside cover of one of his song books - having trouble finding the exact quote online. I hope this helps. :)
