Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness sobered, but stupid lasts forever. ~ Aristophanes
Ignorance quotes by Aristophanes
... while transparency is a natural associate of liberalism, it falls short of implying rationalism. It is one aspiration, that social and ethical relations should not essentially rest on ignorance and misunderstanding of what they are, and quite another that all the beliefs and principles involved in them should be explicitly stated. That these are two different things is obvious with personal relations, where to hope that they do not rest on deceit and error is merely decent, but to think that their basis can be made totally explicit is idiocy. ~ Bernard Williams
Ignorance quotes by Bernard Williams
Knowledge of self ought to be the great project of our lives. Knowing ourselves we will know others. Only by knowing ourselves can we begin to undo the madness we unleash on the world in our wars, our destruction of the environment, our divisions, our desire to dominate others, the poverty we create and exploit. Only through self-knowledge can we reverse the damage we do with all the worldly knowledge we have, which has been only a higher ignorance. ~ Ben Okri
Ignorance quotes by Ben Okri
It's time to step back and reexamine our hatred and let wrath subside. Are we striking out against the real problems: ignorance, fear, want, greed, and political disenfranchisement or just trying to find the most immediate scapegoat on which to lay the blame? Are we so busy blaming our fellow Hobbits that we've forgotten who is really behind the fouling of our Shire? Are we personally guilty of greed? Most of us are, to an extent. We need to reexamine our own desires, and make sure they are really needs instead of just wants. Poverty could be wiped out world wide, if enough modern Hobbits just said, "No! We will not stand for it anymore," or if those at the top of the economic ladder really wanted to do so. ~ Steve Bivans
Ignorance quotes by Steve Bivans
Knowledge is a dangerous thing. But ignorance is no protection. ~ Masha Du Toit
Ignorance quotes by Masha Du Toit
Poor man! You have many burdens on you: The burdens of your religion, of your culture, of your ignorance, of your oppressive government! Find a wild horse and watch it! You will see what is to be unburdened and free! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Ignorance quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
The problem with people who live in a world of speeches and books and theories is they don't know how to fix things in the real world when they go wrong. They feign ignorance, blame others, and make another eloquent speech. ~ Kathleen Troia McFarland
Ignorance quotes by Kathleen Troia McFarland
The foundation of the search for truth must be the ability to notice one's own ignorance. Acknowledging ignorance is a beautiful feature that science and spirituality hold in common. BUMMER rejects it.

Lanier, Jaron. Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now (Posición en Kindle1755-1757). Henry Holt and Co.. Edición de Kindle. ~ Lanier, Jaron
Ignorance quotes by Lanier, Jaron
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
Ignorance quotes by Jonah Goldberg
Vanity rather than wisdom determines how the world is run. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Ignorance quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
Ignorance is bliss up to the point that it kills you. ~ Jeffrey Fry
Ignorance quotes by Jeffrey Fry
I believe that order is better than chaos, creation better than destruction. I prefer gentleness to violence, forgiveness to vendetta. On the whole I think knowledge is preferable to ignorance, and I am sure human sympathy is more valuable than ideology. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Ignorance quotes by Leo Tolstoy
An ignorant person is one who doesn't know what you have just found out. ~ Will Rogers
Ignorance quotes by Will Rogers
On the other hand, if surrounded by ignorance, coarseness, and selfishness, they will unconsciously assume the same character, and grow up to adult years rude, uncultivated, and all the more dangerous to society if placed amidst the manifold temptations of what is called civilised life. "Give your child to be educated by a slave," said an ancient Greek, "and instead of one slave, you will then have two." The child cannot help imitating what he sees. Everything is to him a model - of manner, of gesture, of speech, of habit, of character. "For the child," says Richter, "the most important era of life is that of childhood, when he begins to colour and mould himself by companionship with others. ~ Samuel Smiles
Ignorance quotes by Samuel Smiles
The beginning [of a journey] is a terrible time to plan. It's the moment of greatest ignorance. In self-directed education, a lot of the value comes from exploiting opportunities that arise well out to sea, once I've seen some things and begun the learning process. ~ James Marcus Bach
Ignorance quotes by James Marcus Bach
I don't fool you, do I? Those others" - he waved a vague hand to indicate their
missing comrades - "they think I'm all that - but you know better, don't you."
"Know what?" she'd asked.
He leaned forward, smelling of beer and cigarettes. "You know I'm a fraud. I can
feel the beast inside me, screaming to get out. And if I loose it, it will pull me up to greatness despite myself."
"So why not let it free?" She hadn't been a werewolf then. The world had been a gentler place, the monsters safely in their closets, and she had been brave in her ignorance.
His eyes were old and weary, his voice slurring a bit. "Because then everyone would
see," he told her.
"See what?"
"Me. ~ Patricia Briggs
Ignorance quotes by Patricia Briggs
Everyone has the right to their opinions on a matter but make sure to do your research and know the facts before your opinion crown you an ignorant fool. Keep this in mind, do not be lazy with your research and have conversations with opposite minds from your opinions of the matter. ~ Jesus Apolinaris
Ignorance quotes by Jesus Apolinaris
To one degree or another, everybody is connected to the Mystery, and everybody secretly yearns to expand the connection. That requires expanding the soul. These things can enlarge the soul: laughter, danger, imagination, meditation, wild nature, passion, compassion, psychedelics, beauty, iconoclasm, and driving around in the rain with the top down. These things can diminish it: fear, bitterness, blandness, trendiness, egotism, violence, corruption, ignorance, grasping, shining, and eating ketchup on cottage cheese. ~ Tom Robbins
Ignorance quotes by Tom Robbins
Who cares about an enlightened phantom? Only the other phantoms. It always needs a community of ignorant ideas and one of them maybe is a master -ignorant. The master of ignorance! There are no masters of knowledge. How can there be a master of knowledge ? How can there be a master of Heart? You can only be a master of shit. ~ Karl Renz
Ignorance quotes by Karl Renz
Evil men rarely convince others to their side by asking them to perform dark deeds for no good reason. They will always start with the lightest shade of gray. They so often use what seems like a good cause."

"You don't think it's possible that a little gray is what's needed, sometimes?" asked Davian.

Raleth snorted.

"No," he said severely. "Gray is the color of cowardice and ignorance and sheer laziness, Davian--never let anyone tell you otherwise. If something is not clearly right or wrong then it bears actually *figuring out* which one it is, not dismissal into some nebulous third category. If you have a basis for your morality, a foundation for it, then there will always be an answer--and if you do not, then trying to decide whether *anything* is right or wrong is an exercise in futility and irrelevance. ~ James Islington
Ignorance quotes by James Islington
Because we have viewed other animals through the myopic lens of our self-importance, we have misperceived who and what they are. Because we have repeated our ignorance, one to the other, we have mistaken it for knowledge. ~ Tom Regan
Ignorance quotes by Tom Regan
Ignorance must be prosecuted when arrested. The only way for its arrest is by information and the only way for prosecution is through reading and learning of new things. ~ Israelmore Ayivor
Ignorance quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
It is a mistake always to contemplate the good and ignore the evil, because by making people neglectful it lets in disaster.
There is a dangerous optimism of ignorance and indifference. ~ Helen Keller
Ignorance quotes by Helen Keller
What the world has to eradicate is fear and ignorance. ~ Jan Masaryk
Ignorance quotes by Jan Masaryk
Speak for yourself. Only rank ignorance measures a man by appearances. ~ Janny Wurts
Ignorance quotes by Janny Wurts
The ignorance we're ignorant of is the ignorance most difficult to remedy. ~ Leah Hager Cohen
Ignorance quotes by Leah Hager Cohen
The highest prison walls in the universe are not made of bricks or stone, but of ignorance. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Ignorance quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
It is fortunate that youth never recognizes its ignorance, for if it did it would not find the courage to get the habit of endurance. It is perhaps an instinct of the blood and flesh which prevents this knowledge and allows the boy to become the man who will live to see the folly of his existence. ~ John Edward Williams
Ignorance quotes by John Edward Williams
The moment a person feels he has nothing left to learn is the moment life prepares to hit him hard enough to correct such ignorance. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Ignorance quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
In wonder all philosophy began, in wonder it ends, and admiration fill up the interspace; but the first wonder is the offspring of ignorance, the last is the parent of adoration. ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Ignorance quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Thus Milton refines the question down to a matter of faith," said Coleridge, bringing the lecture to a close, "and a kind of faith more independent, autonomous - more truly strong, as a matter of fact - than the Puritans really sought. Faith, he tells us, is not an exotic bloom to be laboriously maintained by the exclusion of most aspects of the day to day world, nor a useful delusion to be supported by sophistries and half-truths like a child's belief in Father Christmas - not, in short, a prudently unregarded adherence to a constructed creed; but rather must be, if anything, a clear-eyed recognition of the patterns and tendencies, to be found in every piece of the world's fabric, which are the lineaments of God. This is why religion can only be advice and clarification, and cannot carry any spurs of enforcement - for only belief and behavior that is independently arrived at, and then chosen, can be praised or blamed. This being the case, it can be seen as a criminal abridgement of a person's rights willfully to keep him in ignorance of any facts - no piece can be judged inadmissible, for the more stones, both bright and dark, that are added to the mosaic, the clearer is our picture of God. ~ Tim Powers
Ignorance quotes by Tim Powers
Knowledge is no guarantee of good behavior, but ignorance is a virtual guarantee of bad behavior. ~ Martha C. Nussbaum
Ignorance quotes by Martha C. Nussbaum
There is no liberty to men whose passions are stronger than their religious feelings; there is no liberty to men in whom ignorance predominates over knowledge; there is no liberty to men who know not how to govern themselves. ~ Henry Ward Beecher
Ignorance quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Prejudice is the pinnacle of self injected ignorance. It enables poor choices to be pre-chosen. ~ Tom Althouse
Ignorance quotes by Tom Althouse
She was a nice person, she really was, until someone ignorant decided to force that ignorance in her face, and then she just couldn't hold back. ~ Lora Leigh
Ignorance quotes by Lora Leigh
I'm against ignorance. ~ Herman Kahn
Ignorance quotes by Herman Kahn
The purpose of democracy - supplanting old belief in the necessary absoluteness of establish'd dynastic rulership, temporal, ecclesiastical, and scholastic, as furnishing the only security against chaos, crime, and ignorance - is, through many transmigrations, and amid endless ridicules, arguments, and ostensible failures ~ Walt Whitman
Ignorance quotes by Walt Whitman
The moral complexity of the situation had grown past his ability to process it, so he just relaxed in the warm glow of victory instead. ~ James S.A. Corey
Ignorance quotes by James S.A. Corey
No one knows 'men' as such, any more than anyone knows 'women,' and if they do generalise they're probably trying to hide their own ignorance. You might know one 'man,' yes, or even lots of individual 'men'. ~ Julie Burchill
Ignorance quotes by Julie Burchill
The seeker says, "I do not know." That takes honesty. The master says, "I do not know." That takes a mystic's mind that knows things through non-knowing. The disciple says, "I know." That takes ignorance, in the form of borrowed knowledge. ~ Anthony De Mello
Ignorance quotes by Anthony De Mello
I was unhappy there and going through a rough transition, so I was desperate for any friend I could find that I could talk to. I thought that's what he was. We had this secret from my mom, who I didn't like much at the time. It was a harmless secret, so I didn't feel bad about it. All we did was go to the movies and hang out doing fun things all day. It wasn't until much later that the warning signs began, but I was still too young and stupid to see them for what they were at the time. Basically, he was patient as he built up the trust between us. He became a close friend and convinced me that he was on my side somehow. He took total advantage of my ignorance and totally betrayed me a few years later, when he slept with me. After my mom found out, she went psychotic and all she gave a fuck about was what had been done to her. She didn't care about anything except for how hurt she was by what had happened. She blamed me and him equally, telling me that sixteen years old was old enough to know better. Even though I never initiated a goddamn thing with him, and never would have. Even though it happened in the apartment she and I had gotten together, that he was not supposed to be staying in. ~ Ashly Lorenzana
Ignorance quotes by Ashly Lorenzana
True science teaches us to doubt and, in ignorance, to refrain. ~ Claude Bernard
Ignorance quotes by Claude Bernard
Ignorance is constricted awareness ... ~ Deepak Chopra
Ignorance quotes by Deepak Chopra
Ignorance seldom vaults into knowledge, but passes into it through an intermediate state of obscurity, even as night into day through twilight. ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Ignorance quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Midnighter: I told you this wasn't going to end well...
Bendix: ...but...I did what you...what the Authority...never could...fixed earth... Midnighter: No. You just gave them peace through corporate control and ignorance... through mindless consumerism.
Bendix: Bulls*%t! The air is clean...no wars...people are happier...you can't deny...it's a finer world. ~ Ed Brubaker
Ignorance quotes by Ed Brubaker
The war on drugs thrives on ignorance of drugs and misplaced faith in the power of the law to regulate human vice. ~ Tom Feiling
Ignorance quotes by Tom Feiling
We gain our first measure of intelligence when we first admit our own ignorance. ~ Socrates
Ignorance quotes by Socrates
This mountain must come down, the mountain of ignorance has to be brought down ~ Sunday Adelaja
Ignorance quotes by Sunday Adelaja
In the company of ignorance, be silent…and run! ~ T.F. Hodge
Ignorance quotes by T.F. Hodge
He knows nothing; and he thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Ignorance quotes by George Bernard Shaw
And I would sit there, smiling stupidly and realizing they had no idea how rare and lucky they were, and realizing further that this ignorance of their great good fortune could well be the whole trick of achieving it in the first place. ~ Ron Currie Jr.
Ignorance quotes by Ron Currie Jr.
The factory-bells had need to ring their loudest that morning to disperse the groups of workers who stood in the tardy daybreak, collected round the placards [wanted posters], devouring them with eager eyes. Not the least eager of the eyes assembled, were the eyes of those who could not read. These people, as they listened to the friendly voice that read aloud--there was always some such ready to help them--stared at the characters which meant so much with a vague awe and respect that would have been half ludicrous, if any aspect of public ignorance could ever be otherwise than threatening and full of evil. ~ Charles Dickens
Ignorance quotes by Charles Dickens
Ignorance breeds monsters to fill up the vacancies of the soul that are unoccupied by the verities of knowledge. ~ Horace Mann
Ignorance quotes by Horace Mann
A man remains ignorant because he loves ignorance, and chooses ignorant thoughts; a man becomes wise because he loves wisdom and chooses wise thoughts. ~ James Allen
Ignorance quotes by James Allen
Belief is in ignorance. If you know, you know. And it is good that if you don't know, know that you don't know - the belief can deceive you. The belief can create an atmosphere in your mind, where, without knowing, you start thinking that you know. Belief is not trust, and the more strongly you say that you believe totally, the more you are afraid of the doubt within you. ~ Osho
Ignorance quotes by Osho
Religions are the children of ignorance, and they do not long survive their mother.

- On Religion ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Ignorance quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
The majority of people on earth are ignorant of what their time should be used for. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Ignorance quotes by Sunday Adelaja
We must know, if only in order to learn not to know. The supreme lesson of human consciousness is to learn how not to know. That is, how not to interfere. ~ D.H. Lawrence
Ignorance quotes by D.H. Lawrence
Willful ignorance and endless laws become the replacement for self-education and self-restraint, because ignorance and laws are easy. ~ Holly Lisle
Ignorance quotes by Holly Lisle
But ignorance is happiness,When young Hope is to show the way ~ Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Ignorance quotes by Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Fear and realisation of ignorance, strong medicines against stupid pride. ~ Garth Nix
Ignorance quotes by Garth Nix
... ongoing care for the soul rather than seek for a cure appreciates the mystery of human suffering and does not offer the illusion of a problem-free life.
I sees every fall into ignorance and confusion as an opportunity to discover that the beast residing at the center of the labyrinth is also an angel.
To approach this paradoxial point of tension where adjustment and abnormality meet is to move closer to the realization of our mystery-filled, star-born nature.
It is a beast this thing that stirs in the core of our being, but it is also the star of our innermost nature.
We have to care for this suffering with extreme reverence so that in our fear and anger at the beast, we do not overlock the star.
~Thomas Moore *Care of the Soul* ~ Thomas Moore
Ignorance quotes by Thomas Moore
The "question" is the vaccination against and the cure for ignorance. ~ Ted Agon
Ignorance quotes by Ted Agon
To live a hard life was to make solid and impregnable every way in, until no openings remained and the soul hid in darkness, and no one else could hear its screams, its railing at injustice, its long, agonizing stretches of sadness. Hardness without created hardness within.

Sadness was, she well knew, not something that could be cured. It was not, in fact, a failing, not a flaw, not an illness of spirit. Sadness was never without reason, and to assert that it marked some kind of dysfunction did little more than prove ignorance or, worse, cowardly evasiveness in the one making the assertion. As if happiness was the only legitimate way of being. As if those failing at it needed to be locked away, made soporific with medications; as if the causes of sadness were merely traps and pitfalls in the proper climb to blissful contentment, things to be edged round or bridged, or leapt across on wings of false elation.

Scillara knew better. She had faced her own sadness often enough. Even when she discovered her first means of escaping it, in durhang, she'd known that such an escape was simply a flight from feelings that existed legitimately. She'd just been unable to permit herself any sympathy for such feelings, because to do so was to surrender to their truth.

Sadness belonged. As rightful as joy, love, grief and fear. All conditions of being.

Too often people mistook the sadness in others for self-pity, and in so doing revealed their own ha ~ Steven Erikson
Ignorance quotes by Steven Erikson
Americans like to get rich fast. That this means we go broke fast, too, is something that we have become very good at forgetting. Our ignorance of history is matched only by our unfailing optimism; it's actually part of our optimism. ~ Jill Lepore
Ignorance quotes by Jill Lepore
It seems to me that he died from a combination of two of the oldest and most insidious killers of all: ignorance and avarice. ~ Robert A. Norman
Ignorance quotes by Robert A. Norman
The leaders have the responsibility to protect and hold in high esteem the law and virtues of the land. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Ignorance quotes by Sunday Adelaja
Someone has said,"Education is going from an unconscious to conscious awareness of one's ignorance."..No one has a corner on wisdom. All the name-dropping in the world does not heighten the significance of our character. If anything, it reduces it. Our acute need is to cultivate a willingness to learn and to remain teachable. ~ Charles R. Swindoll
Ignorance quotes by Charles R. Swindoll
The Tree of Life was an ancient symbol of interconnection, fertility, and eternal life - precisely because of this legendary tree's fruit. Fruit is part of our essence, a basic element of who we are. We cannot survive without fruit on this planet. It outweighs the nutrition of any other food. Yet the current "health" movement toward low-carb diets has put fruit on the endangered species list, with the goal of making it extinct. Is this denial? Ignorance? Foolishness? We're not talking about uneducated people who are driving the trend. We're talking about smart, highly intelligent professionals with advanced degrees in medicine and nutrition. If they're advising patients to shun fruit, it must be because of their training, the misinformation out there, or their own selective interests. Have you heard of book burning? If the anti-sugar war keeps up its momentum, fruit trees will be next to go up in flames. ~ Anthony William
Ignorance quotes by Anthony William
If it's a choice between a difficult truth and a simple lie, people will take the lie every time. Even if it kills them. ~ Paul Murray
Ignorance quotes by Paul Murray
Maybe the same instruments and tools that have been used to keep people in slavery and ignorance could potentially be used to liberate and awaken them. ~ Daniel Pinchbeck
Ignorance quotes by Daniel Pinchbeck
Money is what fueled the industrial society. But in the informational society, the fuel, the power, is knowledge. One has now come to see a new class structure divided by those who have information and those who must function out of ignorance. This new class has its power not from money, not from land, but from knowledge. ~ John Kenneth Galbraith
Ignorance quotes by John Kenneth Galbraith
Women collect grievances, hold grudges and change shape. They pass hard, legitimate judgments, unlike the purblind guesses of men, fogged with romanticism and ignorance and bias and wish. Women know too much, they can neither be deceived nor trusted. I can understand why men are afraid of them, as they are frequently accused of being. ~ Margaret Atwood
Ignorance quotes by Margaret Atwood
Given the unprecedented ignorance of the Bible in contemporary America, it is likely that more young Americans will only know the Noah of 'Noah.' We can only hope that the film offers even a fraction of the wisdom of the original. ~ Dennis Prager
Ignorance quotes by Dennis Prager
Dramatic uprising of stupidity can start from nowhere and only be seen when it reaches it's climax. ~ Auliq Ice
Ignorance quotes by Auliq Ice
The greatest scientific discovery was the discovery of ignorance. Once humans realised how little they knew about the world, they suddenly had a very good reason to seek new knowledge, which opened up the scientific road to progress. ~ Yuval Noah Harari
Ignorance quotes by Yuval Noah Harari
Many people die long before their departure date,
Through ignorance of living a life they never wanted to be apart of but are to scared to change. ~ Nikki Rowe
Ignorance quotes by Nikki Rowe
Does it mean, if you don't understand something, and the community of physicists don't understand it, that means God did it? Is that how you want to play this game? Because if it is, here's a list of things in the past that the physicists at the time didn't understand [and now we do understand] [ ... ]. If that's how you want to invoke your evidence for God, then God is an ever-receding pocket of scientific ignorance that's getting smaller and smaller and smaller as time moves on - so just be ready for that to happen, if that's how you want to come at the problem ~ Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Ignorance quotes by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
When greed is enthroned, be it in a community or nation, ungodliness is celebrated at the altar of human pleasure. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Ignorance quotes by Sunday Adelaja
You are not free the day you walk out of prison; you are free the day you walk out of ignorance. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Ignorance quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
...It would hardly be a waste of time if sometimes even the most advanced students in the cognitive sciences were to pay a visit to their ancestors. It is frequently claimed in American philosophy departments that, in order to be a philosopher, it is not necessary to revisit the history of philosophy. It is like the claim that one can become a painter without having ever seen a single work by Raphael, or a writer without having ever read the classics. Such things are theoretically possible; but the 'primitive' artist, condemned to an ignorance of the past, is always recognizable as such and rightly labeled as naïf. It is only when we consider past projects revealed as utopian or as failures that we are apprised of the dangers and possibilities for failure for our allegedly new projects. The study of the deeds of our ancestors is thus more than an atiquarian pastime, it is an immunological precaution. ~ Umberto Eco
Ignorance quotes by Umberto Eco
Informed ignorance provides the natural state of mind for research scientists at the ever-shifting frontiers of knowledge. People who believe themselves ignorant of nothing have neither looked for, nor stumbled upon, the boundary between what is known and unknown in the cosmos. ~ Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Ignorance quotes by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
In expanding the field of knowledge we but increase the horizon of ignorance. ~ Henry Miller
Ignorance quotes by Henry Miller
People are so skillful in their ignorance! ~ Paramahansa Yogananda
Ignorance quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
We know that silence equals consent when atrocities are committed against innocent men, women and children. We know that indifference equals complicity when bigotry, hatred and intolerance are allowed to take root. And we know that education and hope are the most effective ways to combat ignorance and despair. ~ Gabrielle Giffords
Ignorance quotes by Gabrielle Giffords
The bondage we are born into is the bondage we cannot see. Verily, freedom is little more than the ignorance of tyranny. Live long enough, and you will see: Men resent not the whip so much as the hand that wields it. ~ R. Scott Bakker
Ignorance quotes by R. Scott Bakker
Give me a man or woman who has read a thousand books and you give me an interesting companion. Give me a man or woman who has read perhaps three and you give me a very dangerous enemy indeed. ~ Anne Rice
Ignorance quotes by Anne Rice
Imagination is the bastard child of time and ignorance ~ Bernard Beckett
Ignorance quotes by Bernard Beckett
Whenever an artist becomes dominated by his own ignorance, his art loses value, for it is only the professional artist that can be humble enough to admit that he is a tool in the hands of creativity. ~ Robin Sacredfire
Ignorance quotes by Robin Sacredfire
But through years of myth-making and fear-sowing, Christianity meta-morphosed antichrists into a single Antichrist, an apocalyptic villain and Christian bogeyman used to scare people as much as Santa Claus is used to regulate children's behavior. After years of studying the concept, I began to realize the Antichrist is a character--a metaphor--who exists in nearly all religions under different names, and maybe there is some truth in it, a need for such a person. But from another perspective, this person could be seen as not a villain but a final hero to save people from their own ignorance. The apocalypse doesn't have to be fire and a brimstone. It could happen on a personal level. ~ Marilyn Manson
Ignorance quotes by Marilyn Manson
I do not believe in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. ~ Thomas Carlyle
Ignorance quotes by Thomas Carlyle
The dumbing down of America is evident in the slow decay of substantive content, a kind of celebration of ignorance. ~ Carl Sagan
Ignorance quotes by Carl Sagan
My ignorance is widespread. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Ignorance quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
Nothing in medical literature today communicates the idea that women's bodies are well-designed for birth. Ignorance of the capacities of women's bodies can flourish and quickly spread into the popular culture when the medical profession is unable to distinguish between ancient wisdom and superstitious belief. ~ Ina May Gaskin
Ignorance quotes by Ina May Gaskin
The car housed a hysterical bumper sticker: Save the Planet, and I permitted a moment of contemplation to truly bask in this thought. Save the planet? What a joke. Save the planet from what? From ourselves? And save it for what? For ourselves? It was a kind of perpetual stupidity in a tug-of-war battle over trivial matters. Only imbeciles see things in black and white: liberal or conservative, yes or no, this or that. Those in power laugh at those people in their morally inverted shades of grey, basking in the labels they've created so the people are easier to control. ~ Bruce Crown
Ignorance quotes by Bruce Crown
The greed manifests us in many shapes,
The high rise building,
a big house ,
deforestation,
no land to grow and
no land to feed our own,
Our very own People !

The money was deadly than any plague,
People bought and sold people
like a commodity !
and then ,
They divided us ,
according to our flawed faith.....
The stench of ignorance fills the air,
nestling at the base of our cortex .

I refuse to be conquered !

The agenda was all clear from the start,
Prospect of the land;
they would rather see us disappear,
Sold for seventy five lac a 100 years back,
It's seventy five million wounds and every day to cry !!

We are a " numb nation "
We are a " slave nation "
&
I refuse to be conquered !!! ~ BinYamin Gulzar
Ignorance quotes by BinYamin Gulzar
Faith consists not in ignorance, but in knowledge - knowledge not of God merely ... but when we recognize God as a propitious Father through the reconciliation made by Christ, and Christ as given to us for righteousness, sanctification, and life. ~ John Calvin
Ignorance quotes by John Calvin
Despite what you've heard, ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance leads to poverty, illness, poor jobs and broken relationships. ~ Alan R. Zimmerman
Ignorance quotes by Alan R. Zimmerman
The Samsara is the movement of life. And you, an individual self, a form, a moment on a wave, are bound. ~ Frederick Lenz
Ignorance quotes by Frederick Lenz
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
Ignorance quotes by Charles Caleb Colton
