Ignorance Quotes (page 21)

Julian Barnes quote: "Every bird you downed bore pebbles in its gizzard from a land..."
Every bird you downed bore pebbles in its gizzard from a land the maps ignored. Julian Barnes
It is dangerous to explain too clearly to man how like he is to the animals without pointing out his greatness. It is also dangerous to make too much of his greatness without his vileness. It is still more dangerous to leave him in ignorance of both, but it is most valuable to represent both to him. Man must not be allowed to believe that he is equal either to animals or to angels, nor to be unaware of either, but he must know both. Blaise Pascal
Plato quote: "All I really know is the extent of my own ignorance"
All I really know is the extent of my own ignorance Plato
Paul Krugman quote: "In our country, learned ignorance is on the rise."
In our country, learned ignorance is on the rise. Paul Krugman
Even though the sewer pipelines reach far into our houses with their tentacles, they are carefully hidden from view and we are happily ignorant of the invisible Venice of shit underlying our bathrooms, bedrooms, dance halls, and parliaments. Milan Kundera
I love you, but why must you love the law? 'Tis plain for all to see that she's a whore...that virtuous persons have no need to woo; that villains screw, then studiously ignore. Alan Moore
Roald Dahl quote: "You ignorant little slug!" the Trunchbull bellowed. "You..."
You ignorant little slug!" the Trunchbull bellowed. "You witless weed! You empty-headed hamster! You stupid glob of glue! Roald Dahl
If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is an absurdity and there is absolutely no need for it. What the world needs is not "a little bit of love," but major surgery. If you think you are helping lost people with your sympathy and understanding, you are a traitor to Jesus Christ. You must have a right-standing relationship with Him yourself, and pour your life out in helping others in His wa? not in a human way that ignores God. Oswald Chambers
To instruct calls for energy, and to remain almost silent, but watchful and helpful, while students instruct themselves, calls for even greater energy. To see someone fall (which will teach him not to fall again) when a word from you would keep him on his feet but ignorant of an important danger, is one of the tasks of the teacher that calls for special energy, because holding in is more demanding than crying out. Robertson Davies
Dean Koontz quote: "Loss is the hardest thing, I said. But it's also the teacher..."
Loss is the hardest thing, I said. But it's also the teacher that's the most difficult to ignore. Dean Koontz
The whole idea of god is absurd. If anything, '2001' shows that what some people call 'god' is simply an acceptable term for their ignorance. What they don't understand, they call 'god' -Stanley Kubrick, interview, 1963 Stanley Kubrick
The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armor to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place. Douglas Adams
He stated that I had no place in a society whose most fundamental rules I ignored and that I could not appeal to the same human heart whose elementary response I knew nothing of. Albert Camus
Lewis Black quote: "sometimes i wonder does god just not care are is he to busy..."
sometimes i wonder does god just not care are is he to busy ignoring your prayers Lewis Black
Art is central to all our lives, not just the better-off and educated. . . I know that from my own story, and from the evidence of every child ever born? they all want to hear and to tell stories, to sing, to make music, to act out little dramas, to paint pictures, to make sculptures. This is born in and we breed it out. And then, when we have bred it out, we say that art is elitist, and at the same time we either fetishize art? the high prices, the jargon, the inaccessibility? or we ignore... Jeanette Winterson
