Quotes About Nescience

Ignorance is the greatest source of happiness.
~ Giacomo Leopardi
Nescience is the basis of everything, it creates everything by an action repeated every moment, it produces this and any world, since it continually takes for real what in fact is not. Nescience is the tremendous mistake that serves as the basis of all our truths, it is older and more powerful than all the gods combined.
~ Emil M. Cioran
il muso detto shiran-kao , faccia di chi non sa nulla.
~ Fosco Maraini
Ignorance is bliss.
~ Thomas Grey
So far, therefore, as the science of exchange relates to the advantage of one of the exchanging persons only, it is founded on the ignorance or incapacity of the opposite person. . . .

It is therefore peculiarly and alone science of darkness.
~ John Ruskin
