Sometimes not seeing things can be a blessing.
AUGUST STRINDBERG, The Dance of Death
What we call evil, it seems to me, is simply ignorance bumping its head in the dark.
HENRY FORD, Theosophist Magazine, Feb. 1930
The blind see what they want to see.
DAN BROWN, The Da Vinci Code
The ignorant ever shun and dread the gifted and enlightened.
FRANCIS A. DURIVAGE, "The Three Brides"
Ignorance isn't bliss, but sometimes ignorance makes it possible for us to sleep at night.
DEAN KOONTZ, Dark Rivers of the Heart
Thing is, while I know better, I like sounding ignorant. Talk like this and people figure you're about as dumb as a fencepost, which suits me fine. Makes it all that much easier to take advantage of 'em.
CHARLES DE LINT, The Onion Girl
The unprepared will eventually be destroyed; ignorance is no hiding place.
TONY BALLANTYNE, Recursion
Ignorance is not innocence but sin.
There is little hope for us until we become toughminded enough to break loose from the shackles of prejudice, half-truths, and downright ignorance. The shape of the world today does not permit us the luxury of softmindedness. A nation or a civilization that continues to produce softminded men purchases its own spiritual death on an installment plan.
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR., A Testament of Hope
