Of what a strange nature is knowledge! It clings to the mind, when it has once seized on it, like a lichen on the rock. I wished sometimes to shake off all thought and feeling; but I learned that there was but one means to overcome the sensation of pain, and that was death-a state which I feared yet did not understand. ↗

We are against ignorance. We feel that you have to educate yourself, no matter what the situation is. People who refuse to educate themselves - people who refuse to find out what something is about, that they're frightened of - find comfort in being ignorant.” --Zeena Schreck Interview for KJTV-1990 ↗

الناس لا يكلفون انفسهم عناءاً كبيراً في تصوير الحياة وتخيلها، وهم يبدون استعداداً مدهشاً لتصديق ما لا يجوز تصديقه، وتصور مالا ينبغي تصوره، وكأنما آلو على أنفسهم ألا يبذلوا جهداً، وألا يحملوا أنفسهم مشقة أو عناء، والكثرة العظمى من الناس في جهل مطبق بحقائق الحياة، ومع ذلك فهم راضون عن أنفسهم مدافعون عن جهالاتهم وأوهامهم، وإن بعضهم ليتحمس للحياة ويضحي بنفسه في سبيلها، وآية ذلك إن جهالة الجاهل جزء من شخصيته، فهو يجد في الدفاع عنها دفاعاً عن نفسه وعن حياته. ↗
