Ignorance Quotes
Injustice, poverty, slavery, ignorance - these may be cured by reform or revolution. But men do not live only by fighting evils. They live by positive goals, individual and collective, a vast variety of them, seldom predictable, at times incompatible.

I never had that feeling that I had to carry the weight of somebody's ignorance around with me.
