We receive the truths of science by compulsion. Nothing but ignorance is able to resist them.


Chauncey Wright

Ignorance is not bliss - it is oblivion.


Philip Wylie

And whenever any one informs us that he has found a man who knows all the arts, and all things else that anybody knows, and every single thing with a higher degree of accuracy than any other man –whoever tells us this, I think that we can only imagine him to be a simple creature who is likely to have been deceived by some wizard or actor whom he met, and whom he thought all-knowing, because he himself was unable to analyze the nature of knowledge and ignorance and imitation.


Plato

What a culture we live in, we are swimming in an ocean of information, and drowning in ignorance.


Richard Paul Evans

Consider this: when you stand at the entry to a steel factory, you can make out through the smoke some men, some metal, the fires. The furnaces roar, the hammers crash; and the metalworkers who forge ingots, weapons, tools, and so on are completely ignorant of the real uses to which their products will be put. The workers can only refer to their products by conventional names. Well, that's where we all stand, all of us! Nobody can see the real character of what he creates because every knife blade may become a dagger, and the use to which an object is put changes both its name and its nature. Only our ignorance shields us from terrible responsibilities.


Auguste de Villiers de l'Isle-Adam

Herbert M. Shelton

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.


Mary Shelley

He knows nothing; and he thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career.


George Bernard Shaw

There was a long hard time when I kept far from me the remembrance of what I had thrown away when I was quite ignorant of its worth.


Charles Dickens
