“Quotations are useful in periods of ignorance or obscurantist beliefs.”

“It is my belief that nearly any invented quotation, played with confidence, stands a good chance to deceive.”

“To mention Boston we use 'Boston' or a synonym, and to mention 'Boston' we use ' 'Boston' ' or a synonym. ' 'Boston' ' contains six letters and just one pair of quotation marks; 'Boston' contains six letters and no quotation marks; and Boston contains some 800,000 people.”

“Hiding behind the mask of a quotation, using someone else’s words to bolster our own softly blooming emotions.”

“If you did not in your own mind distinguish between useful and erroneous information, then you were not learning at all, you were merely replacing ignorance with false belief, which was no improvement.”

“Envy comes from people’s ignorance of, or lack of belief, in their own gifts.”
