Ignorance, poverty, and greed must disappear so that light can prevail in all places. ~ Helen Keller
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Helen Keller
Plain intellectual thinking is the peak of ignorance because all that you will know is to play with a few aspects and make others look like fools. ~ Jaggi Vasudev
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Jaggi Vasudev
In terms of the ego, most religions teach in some way that all of us must die before we die, and then we will not be afraid of dying. Suffering of some sort seems to be the only thing strong enough to destabilize our arrogance and our ignorance. I would define suffering very simply as whenever you are not in control. ~ Richard Rohr
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Richard Rohr
Listen to what I'm tellin' you, boy! This is why we couldn't tell you the truth - 'cause you wasn't lookin' for the truth. You was lookin' for confirmation of what you already believed. The truth was starin' you in the face and you didn't want it. How the hell could I get away wit' killin' somebody and authorities never come? Huh? I know we in the country, but we ain't on Mars! That don't make no sense! But you couldn't swallow the truth that I had done changed, so you held on to the ignorance you always believed - that I was a mean, nasty, evil woman. That's what's wrong wit' the world. We don't let people change." She paused, frowning. "Sometimes, when people change, we change 'em right back into what they was 'cause the change don't fit how we know 'em. So people get tired of fightin' to make other folks see 'em differently. Most stop tryin'." TL ~ Daniel Black
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Daniel Black
Among the sayings and discourses imputed to him (i.e. Jesus) by his biographers, I find many passages of fine imagination, correct morality, and of the most lovely benevolence; and others again of so much ignorance, so much absurdity, so much untruth, charlatanism, and imposture, as to pronounce it impossible that such contradictions should have proceeded from the same being. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Thomas Jefferson
In her fevered eloquence she loses herself in detail, mixes up things that happened yesterday with others that happened long ago, imagined things with others that are true or half true, and if I manage to refute one charge, she comes at me with another one that I've refuted three times already. It's as if someone, in ignorance of the pattern on the front side of a rug, were picking at loose threads on the back, and with a sore finger".

From My First Wife, Jakob Wasser Mann ~ Jakob Wasser Mann
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Jakob Wasser Mann
We allow our ignorance to prevail upon us and make us think we can survive alone, alone in patches, alone in groups, alone in races, even alone in genders. ~ Maya Angelou
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Maya Angelou
But there's a fourth interpretation: Obama can't leave his comfort zone. No president since Woodrow Wilson has been as enamored of abstract ideas or more sure that disagreement with him is proof of ignorance, bad faith or dogmatism. As a candidate, he insisted his real opponent was 'cynicism,' and in his address last week, he returned to this trite formulation, insisting again he was bravely battling the cynics. ~ Jonah Goldberg
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Jonah Goldberg
For entrepreneurs, ignorance is not bliss. It's fatal. It's costly. And it's for losers. You either get organized, or get crushed. ~ Donald Trump
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Donald Trump
The worldly life has arisen through the ego. One is indeed free if the ego dissolves. What is the foundation on which the ego stands? It is the ignorance of the Self. ~ Dada Bhagwan
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Dada Bhagwan
Anything you don't want to deal with can always be written off as being "in the past" and ignored, but in doing so, you sweep it under a rug where it doesn't go away with time – it becomes time itself, and takes on the illusion of life as we think we know it. ~ A.J. Darkholme
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by A.J. Darkholme
The nice thing about having a brain is that one can learn, that ignorance can be supplanted by knowledge, and that small bits of knowledge can gradually pile up into substantial heaps. ~ Douglas Hofstadter
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Douglas Hofstadter
Knowledge forbidden?
Suspicious, reasonless. Why should their Lord
Envy them that? Can it be a sin to know?
Can it be death? ~ John Milton
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by John Milton
It was not our war, but it would be our disgrace, our shame. The West was filling to declare a war over the price of oil, but when it came to the wholesale slaughter of human beings we folded our hands across our chests and tapped our heels, with great anticipation that Sunday's sporting events would be wonderfully entertaining ~ Bill Carter
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Bill Carter
Does trying to understand the universe at all betray a lack of humility? I believe it is true that humility is the only just response in a confrontation with the universe, but not a humility that prevents us from seeking the nature of the universe we are admiring. If we seek that nature, then love can be informed by truth instead of being based on ignorance or self-deception. If a Creator God exists, would He or She or It or whatever the appropriate pronoun is, prefer a kind of sodden blockhead who worships while understanding nothing? Or would He prefer His votaries to admire the real universe in all its intricacy? I would suggest that science is, at least in part, informed worship. ~ Carl Sagan
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Carl Sagan
You were most entertaining," Zayne replied. "That was unintentional," Eliza muttered. ~ Jen Turano
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Jen Turano
Movie acting is harder than doing a play. You have to be entertaining but completely natural, like Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant. They weren't doing anything. Do you have any idea how hard that is? That's how good they were. It's crazy hard to be convincing and real. It's the most subtle, hardest thing there is. ~ Jon Lovitz
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Jon Lovitz
Backward is just not a natural direction for Americans to look - historical ignorance remains a national characteristic. ~ Larry McMurtry
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Larry McMurtry
I think that a good person can sometimes do wrong out of ignorance or weakness or wrong thinking, but when hard times come, the goodness wins out after all. And a bad person can often seem good and trustworthy for a long time, but when hard times come, the evil in him gets revealed. ~ Orson Scott Card
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Orson Scott Card
I guess ignorance is bliss - when I do interviews people always say, "Aren't you upset that people make fun of you?" and I'm like, "Are they making fun of me?" I guess I just don't get it. ~ Pamela Anderson
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Pamela Anderson
We're walking with our eyes on everyone else, ignoring the screams that come from the people buried alive underneath our feet. Yet we say we're here for each other and say we care. And we hypocritically wonder why everyone is walking passed our own screams as though we don't do the same. ~ Caitlyn Paige
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Caitlyn Paige
If any man can convince me and bring home to me that which I do not think or act aright, gladly will I change; for I search after truth, by which man never yet was harmed. But he is harmed who abideth on still in his deception and ignorance. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Marcus Aurelius
I think that stupidity is like a wild fire burning through the social fabric of an intrinsically reasonable existence. ~ Travis Culliton
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Travis Culliton
Ignorance and prejudice and fear go hand in hand ~ Neil Peart
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Neil Peart
Our society is afflicted by a spirit of thoughtless arrogance unbecoming those who have been so magnificently blessed. How grateful we should be for the bounties we enjoy. Absence of gratitude is the mark of the narrow, uneducated mind. It bespeaks a lack of knowledge and the ignorance of self-sufficiency. It expresses itself in ugly egotism and frequently in wanton mischief ...
Where there is appreciation, there is courtesy, there is concern for the rights and property of others. Without appreciation, there is arrogance and evil.
Where there is gratitude, there is humility, as opposed to pride. ~ Gordon B. Hinckley
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Gordon B. Hinckley
Whenever you are being insulted by ungodliness and injustice, endeavor to speak against it, endeavor to stand up against it, and expect to see change. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Sunday Adelaja
But if it be true, as every prospect assures us, that the human race shall not again relapse into its ancient barbarity; if every thing ought to assure us against that pusillanimous and corrupt system which condemns man to eternal oscillations between truth and falsehood, liberty and servitude, we must, at the same time, perceive that the light of information is spread over a small part only of our globe; and the number of those who possess real instruction, seems to vanish in the comparison with the mass of men consigned over to ignorance and prejudice. We behold vast countries groaning under slavery, and presenting nations in one place, degraded by the vices of civilization, so corrupt as to impede the progress of man; and in others, still vegetating in the infancy of its early age. We perceive that the exertions of these last ages have done much for the progress of the human mind, but little for the perfection of the human species; much for the glory of man, somewhat for his liberty, but scarcely any thing yet for his happiness. In a few directions, our eyes are struck with a dazzling light; but thick darkness still covers an immense horison. ~ Nicolas De Condorcet
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Nicolas De Condorcet
A village in a country which is taking pains to become altogether standardized and pure, which aspires to succeed Victorian England as the chief mediocrity of the world, is no longer merely provincial, no longer downy and restful in its leaf-shadowed ignorance. It is a force seeking to conquer the earth ... Sure of itself, it bullies other civilizations, as a traveling salesman in a brown derby conquers the wisdom of China and tacks advertisements of cigarettes over arches for centuries dedicated to the sayings of Confucius. ~ Sinclair Lewis
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Sinclair Lewis

"I'm not crazy about it" is code for: I hate that more than sugar-free
punch.
"What do you think about her?" is code for: I don't like her.
"She's always been lovely to me" is code for: I don't like her either.

"She's the nicest person" means she's boring as pound cake.
"She has beautiful skin" means she's white as a tampon.
"She's old" means she's racist as Sandy Duncan in Roots.
"You are so bad!" is Southern Lady code for: That is the tackiest thing I've ever heard and I am delighted that you shared it with me.

"She has a good time means slut.

"Nice talking with you" is code for: Party's over, now scoot. ~ Helen Ellis
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Helen Ellis
The essays are very solipsistic and self-absorbed, I'm totally conscious of that. To me, book writing is fun, and I basically just write about things that are entertaining to myself. ~ Chuck Klosterman
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Chuck Klosterman
The poet Mary Oliver did this in one of her poems, brazenly asking, "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" If you're afraid you've come to this question too late, you are wrong. Ask your Stargazer self. It will tell you what my fallen-noble friend Marianna told me in one of my darker hours: that the world is re-created in every instant of time, and this moment is always your life's beginning. No matter how many years have been stolen from you by your own ignorance, by cruel fate, or by the acts of others, you have a clean, broad slate before you. In this instant - this one now - you can begin steering by starlight, and if you do, the rest of creation will conspire to guide, teach, and help you. ~ Martha N. Beck
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Martha N. Beck
Some people think Corona virus is myth or rumor to scare people. Corona virus doesn't exist. Don't be the first one to be infected with it for people to believe its real. Be safe and follow all the health guidelines that are in place.

Truth is most people will die from corona virus , not because its pandemic, but because of ignorance. Don't be that person.Your responsible not only for your life, but also for the life of others. ~ De Philosopher DJ Kyos
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by De Philosopher DJ Kyos
There is nothing better than not knowing. ~ Markus W. Lunner
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Markus W. Lunner
He felt as if there were something missing inside him that didn't fit in with their merriment, with their willing ignorance of the world outside the castle. It went beyond his title. He had enjoyed their company early in his adolescence, but it had become apparent that he'd always be a step away. The worst of it was that they didn't seem to notice he was different- or that he felt different. Were it not for Chaol, he would have felt immensely lonely. ~ Sarah J. Maas
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Sarah J. Maas
Half-knowledge is worse than ignorance. ~ Thomas B. Macaulay
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Thomas B. Macaulay
Ignorance is a blank sheet, on which we may write; but error is a scribbled one, on which we must first erase. ~ Charles Caleb Colton
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Charles Caleb Colton
I give those who give those who think i don't give. ~ Terry Proud Chocolate
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Terry Proud Chocolate
I'm now 'Doctor' to the patients and I have to cover my ignorance by waving my arms and looking grave. ~ Howard Florey
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Howard Florey
If we are not aware of who we are, how will we know where we are going or how we should get there ~ Sunday Adelaja
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Sunday Adelaja
I really think that living is the process of going from complete certainty to complete ignorance. ~ Richard Dreyfuss
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Richard Dreyfuss
The darkness of ignorance, blindfold us. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
A person must have a certain amount of intelligent ignorance to get anywhere. ~ Charles Kettering
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Charles Kettering
But it also crossed my mind that in spite of all, in spite of our fragility and ignorance, we have an incredible advantage over the stars – it is for us that time works, giving us a major opportunity to transform the suffering, aching world into a happy and peaceful one. ~ Olga Tokarczuk
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Olga Tokarczuk
Tolkien, then, was a philologist before he was a mythologist, and a mythologist, at least in intention, before he ever became a writer of fantasy fiction. His beliefs about language and about mythology were sometimes original and sometimes extreme, but never irrational, and he was able to express them perfectly clearly. In the end he decided to express them not through abstract argument, but by demonstration, and the success of the demonstration has gone a long way to showing that he did often have a point: especially in his belief, which I share, that a taste for philology, for the history of language in all its forms, names and place-names included, is much more widespread in the population at large than educators and arbiters of taste like to think. In his 1959 'Valedictory Address to the University of Oxford' (reprinted in Essays, pp. 224-40), Tolkien concluded that the problem lay not with the philologists nor with those they taught but with what he called 'misologists' – haters of the word. There would be no harm in them if they simply concluded language study was not for them, out of dullness or ignorance. But what he felt, Tolkien said, was:

"grievance that certain professional persons should suppose their dullness and ignorance to be a human norm; and anger when they have sought to impose the limitation of their minds upon younger minds, dissuading those with philological curiosity from their bent, encouraging those without this interest to believe that ~ Tom Shippey
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Tom Shippey
You can't cure ignorance based solely on the basis of a valid argument... ~ Gary A. Nilsen
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Gary A. Nilsen
statistical thinking is merely an artifact of human ignorance. we need to use statistics nature does not. ~ Pierre-Simon Laplace
Entertaining Ignorance quotes by Pierre-Simon Laplace
Human mind & news Media work on the same principle: Unsatisfied with the past; worried about future; ignorant about the present moment. ~ Saurabh Sharma
