ignorance

True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance.

I believe in the forgiveness of sin and the redemption of ignorance.

Ignorance is stubborn and prejudice is hard.

The field is a halfway house, halfway between the detail of those intimately known places and the ignorance of a landscape view. . . . The essence of a field is that the cultural accommodates the natural there. The human being makes room for and makes use of those organisms that are not him. In that way the field is a poem to symbiosis, and a human contract with the natural.

There is no such thing as chance or accident; the words merely signify our ignorance of some real and immediate cause.

Nothing is more terrible than ignorance in action.
