So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, 'The good outnumber you, and we always will.'

Quotes by Patton Oswalt

Ignorance is the failure to discriminate between the permanent and the impermanent, the pure and the impure, bliss and suffering, the Self and the non-Self.

Quotes by Patanjali

My dominant feeling every day is one of great ignorance.

Quotes by Pankaj Mishra

I think there is no reason for us to bring to Islamism or political Islam the fear and ignorance of Western commentators and their hysterical vocabulary.

Quotes by Pankaj Mishra

Shallowness and ignorance have been our lot in the mass consumer societies we inhabit, where we were too distracted to act politically, apart from periodically deputing political elites to take life-and-death decisions on our behalf.

Quotes by Pankaj Mishra

There is a danger, increasingly, that we're in a post-fact society where it seems my ignorance is as good as your facts.

Quotes by Nick Sagan

Ignorance is my least favorite thing. I really think it's at the core of all our problems.

Quotes by Naomi Judd

It is fairly well-known what has been behind that climate change denial in America: vast sums pumped into an ignorance industry by the oil and gas lobbies.

Quotes by Naomi Wolf

I will not expose the ignorance of the faculty.

Quotes by Nancy Cartwright

There are many reasons why vulnerable young people join militant groups, but among them are poverty and ignorance. Indeed Boko Haram - which translates in English, roughly, as 'Western Education Is Sinful' - preys on the perverted belief that the opportunities that education brings are sinful.

Quotes by Muhammadu Buhari

The right to a quality education is, I believe, the perfect path to bridge the gap between different cultures and to reconcile various civilizations. Without such a right, the values of liberty, justice and equality will have no meaning. Ignorance is by far the biggest danger and threat to humankind.

Quotes by Moza bint Nasser

Consciousness of myself, combined with complete ignorance of everything that does not fall within my sphere of thinking, is the most telling proof of my substantiality outside God, of my original existence.

Quotes by Moses Mendelssohn

Statistics: the mathematical theory of ignorance.

Quotes by Morris Kline

I really wish there was some big brother conspiracy theory. I just think it's the ignorance of trying to make a dollar. That's what the networks have done and will continue to do. If anyone doesn't think that this is about making money, then they're crazy.

Quotes by Montel Williams

I believe that ignorance is the root of all evil. And that no one knows the truth.

Quotes by Molly Ivins

As Commander of the Faithful, it is out of the question that I fight Islam. We need to fight violence and ignorance. It is true, when one strolls out, one sees women with scarves and men with beards. This has always been the case in Morocco. Morocco is built on tolerance.

Quotes by Mohammed VI of Morocco

We need to fight violence and ignorance. It is true: when one strolls out, one sees women with scarves and men with beards. This has always been the case in Morocco. Morocco is built on tolerance.

Quotes by Mohammed VI of Morocco

Africa should not again face isolation or stigmatisation based on ignorance and unrepresentative imagery.

Quotes by Mo Ibrahim

We Hoosiers hold to some quaint notions. Some might say we 'cling' to them, though not out of fear or ignorance. We believe in paying our bills. We have kept our state in the black throughout the recent unpleasantness, while cutting rather than raising taxes, by practicing an old tribal ritual - we spend less money than we take in.

Quotes by Mitch Daniels

Ignorance breeds fear.

Quotes by Mike Wilson

We live in a culture where everyone's opinion, view, and assessment of situations and people spill across social media, a lot of it anonymously, much of it shaped by mindless meanness and ignorance.

Quotes by Mike Barnicle

If a novelist had concocted a villain like Trump - a larger-than-life, over-the-top avatar of narcissism, mendacity, ignorance, prejudice, boorishness, demagoguery, and tyrannical impulses, she or he would likely be accused of extreme contrivance and implausibility.

Quotes by Michiko Kakutani

Situational unawareness in the private marketplace or on the battlefield will cost you your livelihood or your life. In the Age of Obama, however, such willful ignorance is a job prerequisite. The less you know the better.

Quotes by Michelle Malkin

In North America, the greatest threat to the Jewish people is not the external force of antisemitism, but the internal forces of apathy, inertia and ignorance of our own heritage.

Quotes by Michael Steinhardt

Most criticism of advertising is written in ignorance of what actually happens inside these agencies.

Quotes by Michael Schudson

Even when I do roles that are really profoundly abusive, like, I would say, in 'Deadwood' - there's a guy who's a breeding ground for ignorance and hurtful behavior - the fact that people are so taken aback by that is a good thing because they're looking at themselves, and there's a part of me in there, too.

Quotes by Michael Harney

Millions of ordinary Americans may suffer from a toxic combination of ignorance and amnesia, but the victims of U.S. coups, invasions, and bombing campaigns across the globe tend not to. Ask the Iraqis or the Iranians, ask the Cubans or the Chileans. And, yes, ask the North Koreans.

Quotes by Mehdi Hasan

My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and more intelligent than college professors.

Maya Angelou

The man who realizes his ignorance has taken the first step toward knowledge.

Quotes by Max Heindel

Being a depressive should not imply danger any more than being a man or even a human should. Mental illness isn't a them/us issue; we are all on the scale somewhere. So we must be very careful to resist ignorance and combat the stigma that leads to dangerous silence.

Quotes by Matt Haig

Ignorance, hatred and greed are killing nature.

Quotes by Masanobu Fukuoka

'God's plan' is often a front for men's plans and a cover for inadequacy, ignorance, and evil.

Quotes by Mary Daly

Ignorance and a narrow education lay the foundation of vice, and imitation and custom rear it up.

Quotes by Mary Astell

Scientists habitually moan that the public doesn't understand them. But they complain too much: public ignorance isn't peculiar to science. It's sad if some citizens can't tell a proton from a protein. But it's equally sad if they're ignorant of their nation's history, can't speak a second language, or can't find Venezuela or Syria on a map.

Quotes by Martin Rees

Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

Martin Luther King Jr.

I think humility - which I think is a very good value to adopt - is basically an extension of understanding your own ignorance.

Quotes by Mark Manson

The Age of Information, Has turned out to be the Age of Ignorance.

Quotes by Mark Crispin Miller

All around me insisted that my doubts proved only my own ignorance and sinfulness; that they knew by experience they would soon give place to true knowledge, and an advance in religion; and I felt something like indecision.

Quotes by Maria Monk

So far as I know, there were no pains taken to preserve secrecy on this subject; that is, I saw no attempt made to keep any of the inmates of the Convent in ignorance of the murder of children.

Quotes by Maria Monk

Prejudices are the chains forged by ignorance to keep men apart.

Quotes by Marguerite Gardiner

When motherhood becomes the fruit of a deep yearning, not the result of ignorance or accident, its children will become the foundation of a new race.

Quotes by Margaret Sanger

My top most priority is to deal with India's massive social and economic problems, so that chronic poverty, ignorance and disease can be conquered in a reasonably short period of time.

Quotes by Manmohan Singh

All the great evils which men cause to each other because of certain intentions, desires, opinions, or religious principles, are likewise due to non-existence, because they originate in ignorance, which is absence of wisdom.

Quotes by Maimonides

The knowledge from an enlightened person breaks on the hard rocks of ignorance.

Quotes by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.

Mahatma Gandhi

Ignorance is the first requisite of the historian - ignorance, which simplifies and clarifies, which selects and omits, with a placid perfection unattainable by the highest art.

Quotes by Lytton Strachey

Innocence is ignorance.

Quotes by Lynne Reid Banks

Uncertainty and fear and ignorance about immigrants, about people who are different, has a history as old as our Nation.

Quotes by Luis Gutierrez

I have a concept of Naples that is not so much of a city, per se, but rather an ingredient of the human spirit that I detect in everyone, Neapolitan or not. The idea that 'Neapolitanism' and mass ignorance are somehow indissolubly linked is one that I am prepared to fight with all the strength I have.

Quotes by Luciano De Crescenzo

Behind every argument is someone's ignorance.

Quotes by Louis D. Brandeis

Seventy percent of the fish we eat is black market, fished in violation of international laws. Our ignorance makes us unwilling partners in crime. Rogue economics is turning the global market into our worst nightmare.

Quotes by Loretta Napoleoni

I say every slur on the planet - racial, homosexual, everything to do with every ethnic group on the planet - and guess what? I will never apologize for that because I know why I do it, and it is to make a valid point about ignorance in this society.

Quotes by Lisa Lampanelli

The dilemma of modern medicine, and the underlying central flaw in medical education and, most of all, in the training of interns, is the irresistible drive to do something, anything. It is expected by patients and too often agreed to by their doctors, in the face of ignorance.

Quotes by Lewis Thomas

Chance is a name for our ignorance.

Quotes by Leslie Stephen

Blinding ignorance does mislead us. O! Wretched mortals, open your eyes!

Leonardo da Vinci

If I don't have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance.

Quotes by Leo Buscaglia

For all of his bravado, obnoxiousness, hatred, and vitriol, the scariest thing about Trump, to me, is his unique combination of ignorance about the world, convolved with ignorance about himself.

Quotes by Lawrence M. Krauss

Against logic there is no armor like ignorance.

Quotes by Laurence J. Peter

I am used to being places where I don't speak the language. What I am not used to is being in a part of a country where few people speak my language. Call it ignorance, arrogance, or what have you, but most places I have visited, I was lucky enough to be able to get by with English.

Quotes by Lauren Gibbs

Exposing your ignorance is how you get somebody to embrace you.

Quotes by Larry Wilcox

Backward is just not a natural direction for Americans to look - historical ignorance remains a national characteristic.

Quotes by Larry McMurtry

Only thanks to blissful ignorance, and the inspiration of my grandparents' story, did I actually believe tackling a novel would be an easy task. I've since learned otherwise.

Quotes by Kristina McMorris

Where ignorance is bliss it's foolish to borrow your neighbor's newspaper.

Quotes by Kin Hubbard

I never considered I might make a career out of writing as I was going to school, so when I did turn my attentions that way, I was very ill prepared, having only what I read as a guide, and no formal training whatsoever. I credit that very ignorance with a great deal of my success.

Quotes by Kim Harrison

Much of the impotence of American churches is tied to a profound ignorance and apathy about justification. Our people live in a fog of guilt. Or just as bad, they think being a better person is all God requires.

Quotes by Kevin DeYoung

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.

Quotes by Kathleen Troia McFarland

Our knowledge can only be finite, while our ignorance must necessarily be infinite.

Quotes by Karl Popper

The voice of the intelligence is drowned out by the roar of fear. It is ignored by the voice of desire. It is contradicted by the voice of shame. It is biased by hate and extinguished by anger. Most of all it is silenced by ignorance.

Quotes by Karl A. Menninger

I plead total ignorance to Led Zeppelin. I am totally in the dark about them.

Quotes by Karen O

I'm a believer in 'Ignorance is bliss.'

Quotes by Julianna Margulies

Quotes by John Tillotson

Quotes by John Strachan

I do believe states' rights was a sound doctrine that got hijacked by some unsavory customers for a while - like, 150 years or so. I'm professionally obliged to believe that knowledge is better than ignorance, but some kinds of forgetting are OK with me.

Quotes by John Shelton Reed

The principles of justice are chosen behind a veil of ignorance.

Quotes by John Rawls

The biggest road block to action on genocide and other human rights crimes is ignorance. Most people just don't know that such things are happening, and often, if they have a vague idea they are happening, there is a feeling that there is nothing that can be done to stop these crimes.

Quotes by John Prendergast

There are few earthly things more beautiful than a university a place where those who hate ignorance may strive to know, where those who perceive truth may strive to make others see.

Quotes by John Masefield

The social object of skilled investment should be to defeat the dark forces of time and ignorance which envelope our future.

Quotes by John Maynard Keynes

A bad book is the worse that it cannot repent. It has not been the devil's policy to keep the masses of mankind in ignorance; but finding that they will read, he is doing all in his power to poison their books.

Quotes by John Kenneth Galbraith

My stories are about humanity, about the challenges of surviving and the constant fight against ignorance, inhumanity and complacency.

Quotes by John Kani

The greater our knowledge increases the more our ignorance unfolds.

Quotes by John F. Kennedy

The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.

Quotes by John F. Kennedy

There are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness. They can only be shaken by the simple development of the contrary qualities. They will not bear discussion.

Quotes by John Dalberg-Acton

God tolerates even our stammering, and pardons our ignorance whenever something inadvertently escapes us - as, indeed, without this mercy there would be no freedom to pray.

Quotes by John Calvin

Wisdom comes out of dialogue so you have to develop the capacity to expose your own ignorance in order that they may discover their own wisdom.

Quotes by John B. Goodenough

We live on an island surrounded by a sea of ignorance. As our island of knowledge grows, so does the shore of our ignorance.

Quotes by John Archibald Wheeler

All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise, not from defects in their Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from the downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation.

Quotes by John Adams

Is it ignorance or apathy? Hey, I don't know and I don't care.

Quotes by Jimmy Buffett

Quotes by Jessie Reyez

Quotes by Jeremy Taylor

It is impossible to make people understand their ignorance, for it requires knowledge to perceive it; and, therefore, he that can perceive it hath it not.

Quotes by Jeremy Taylor

When economist William Beveridge dreamed up the postwar welfare state he wanted to fight five 'giant evils' - want, disease, ignorance, squalor and idleness. Fast forward 65 years and it seems the last New Labour government grew an Unfair State that fuelled - not fought - one of those evils: idleness.
