Ramakrishna

13. “Fear is born from ignorance. We think that the other person is trying to take away something from us. But if we look deeply, we see that the desire of the other person is exactly our own desire – to have peace, to be able to have a chance to live.” Thich Nhat Hanh Fear, Ignorance, Understanding, Peace, Compassion
17. “Being human and investigating the affairs of the gods is an extreme version of being tone-deaf and talking about music, or having never served in the army and talking about warfare: we resemble amateurs trying to use arguments from probability based on opinions and conjecture to unearth the ideas of experts. Given.” Plutarch Ignorance, Knowledge, Expertise, Opinion, Understanding
23. “When a person doesn’t understand something, he feels internal discord: however he doesn’t search for that discord in himself, as he should, but searches outside of himself. Thence a war develops with that which he doesn’t understand.” Anton Chekhov Ignorance, Conflict, Self-awareness, Misunderstanding, Psychology
37. “If our knowledge is, as I believe, only an island in an infinite sea of ignorance, how can we in our short lifetime find satisfaction in exploring our little island? How can we persuade ourselves to be exhilarated by our meager knowledge and yet not be discouraged by the ocean vistas?” Daniel J. Boorstin Knowledge, Ignorance, Exploration, Perspective, Discovery
40. “I have observed that the world has suffered far less from ignorance than from pretensions to knowledge. It is not skeptics or explorers but fanatics and ideologues who menace decency and progress. No agnostic ever burned anyone at the stake or tortured a pagan, a heretic, or an unbeliever.” Daniel J. Boorstin Knowledge, Ignorance, Fanaticism, Tolerance, Progress
