Ignored Quotes (page 13)

If you don't let a teacher know what level you are -- by asking a question, or revealing your ignorance -- you will not learn or grow Stephen Covey
In that etymological light nostalgia seems something like the pain of ignorance, of not knowing. You are far away, and I don’t know what has become of you. My country is far away, and I don’t know what is happening there. Milan Kundera

People want to ignore what they can't understand. They're looking for logic at any cost. Alice Hoffman
I figured the government wouldn't let poison flow from the taps. But in general, I'm too trusting of the government. I'm the polar opposite of the Tea Partiers. I have no problem with a nanny state. But in this case, the nanny state has been chatting on the cell phone and ignoring the baby as it plays with matches. A. J. Jacobs
William Shakespeare quote: "I'll be your foil, Laertes: in mine ignorance your skill..."

The book answers questions other people have thought of. I have thought of questions they have not answered. I always thought my questions were wrong questions because no one else asked them. Maybe no one thought of them. Maybe darkness got there first. Maybe I am the first light touching a gulf of ignorance. Maybe my questions matter. Elizabeth Moon
Tom Robbins quote: "You are an ignorant schoolgirl. You think civilization is a..."
You are an ignorant schoolgirl. You think civilization is a good thing. Tom Robbins
Theocracy has been rightly abolished not because it is bad that learned priests should govern ignorant laymen, but because priests are wicked men like the rest of us. C. S. Lewis
Who was it said that memory is what we thought we'd forgotten? And it ought to be obvious to us that time doesn't act as a fixative, rather as a solvent. But it's not convenient--it's not useful--to believe this; it doesn't help us get on with our lives; so we ignore it. [p. 69] Julian Barnes
It as true that normal people couldn't hear Gaspode speak, because dogs don't speak. It's a well know fact....Besides, almost all dogs don't talk. Ones that do are merely a statistical error, and can therefore be ignored. Terry Prachett
When I was ten years old, I realized I'd been kidnapped as a toddler. Of course, I would have to have been a fairly dim child to miss the clues. Great big pink-elephant clues, trumpeting and lumbering and shitting through the house, ignored by everyone except me. Augusten Burroughs
Children don’t heed the life experiences of their parents, and nations ignore history. Bad lessons always have to be learned anew. Albert Einstein
When I go biking, I repeat a mantra of the day's sensations: bright sun, blue sky, warm breeze, blue jay's call, ice melting and so on. This helps me transcend the traffic, ignore the clamorings of work, leave all the mind theaters behind and focus on nature instead. I still must abide by the rules of the road, of biking, of gravity. But I am mentally far away from civilization. The world is breaking someone else's heart. Diane Ackerman
