⇛ Denis Diderot (Philosopher)

Copy Quote Text

There is only one passion, the passion for happiness.

Denis Diderot Philosopher

Gaiety is a quality of ordinary men. Genius always presupposes some disorder in the machine.

Denis Diderot Philosopher

Bad company is as instructive as licentiousness. One makes up for the loss of one's innocence with the loss of one's prejudices.

Denis Diderot Philosopher

The most dangerous madmen are those created by religion, and people whose aim is to disrupt society always know how to make good use of them on occasion.

Denis Diderot Philosopher

The spiritual journey does not consist of arriving at a new destination where a person gains what he did not have, or becomes what he is not. It consists in the dissipation of one's own ignorance concerning oneself and life, and the gradual growth of that understanding which begins the spiritual awakening. The finding of God is a coming to one?s self.

Aldous Huxley Writer

The greater our knowledge increases the more our ignorance unfolds.

John F. Kennedy 35th U.S. President

If I remained silent and you remained silent, then who will teach the ignorant?

Ibn Taymiyyah Philosopher

Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.

Dalai Lama

Trust that little voice in your head that says 'Wouldn't it be interesting if...'; And then do it.

Duane Michals Photographer

We are educated in the grossest ignorance, and no art omitted to stifle our natural reason; if some few get above their nurses instructions, our knowledge must rest concealed and be as useless to the world as gold in the mine.

Mary Wortley Montagu Writer
