― Barbara Kingsolver, The Lacuna

“A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.”
― Bertrand Russell, A History of Western Philosophy

“Lies are infinite in number, and the truth so small and singular.”
― Barbara Kingsolver, The Lacuna

“The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.”
― Bertrand Russell
