Ignorance
- "Lack of knowledge is darker than night."
- "An ignorant man is always a slave."
- "Whoever works without knowledge works uselessly."
- "Ignorantia non est argumentum."
- --Baruch Spinoza
- Translation: "Ignorance is no argument."
- Source: Ethica ordine geometrico demonstrata et in quinque parses distincta, Part 1, Addendum; Amsterdam, 1677.
- Originally used to oppose traditional theological views that everything exists and is determined by divine intervention because no other plausible reason or explanation is seen.
- "If ignorance is bliss, you must be the happiest man alive."
- deliberately breaking rules is fine;
ignoring them is not -- ignorance is bad. -- from wikipedia
