Stay Ignorant

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
--George Orwell

Bamboozled

“If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
--Carl Sagan

Accept or Reject Reality

“Fools reject reality and expect things to be different. The wise accept reality and expect the unexpected.”
--Maxime Lagacé

Parasitic Thinking

“Men who reject the responsibility of thought and reason can only exist as parasites on the thinking of others.”
--Ayn Rand

Reject Injury

“Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.”
--Marcus Aurelius

Wisdom


“Wisdom too often never comes, and so one ought not to reject it merely because it comes late.”
--Felix Frankfurter
