Pauline Mayers

“A rationalist is simply someone for whom it is more important to learn than to be proved right; someone who is willing to learn from others - not by simply taking over another's opinions, but by gladly allowing others to criticize his ideas and by gladly criticizing the ideas of others”
― Karl Popper

“An acquaintance merely enjoys your company, a fair-weather companion flatters when all is well, a true friend has your best interests at heart and the pluck to tell you what you need to hear.”
― E.A. Bucchianeri, Brushstrokes of a Gadfly

“True ignorance is not the absence of knowledge, but the refusal to acquire it.”
― Karl R. Popper

“It is nobler to declare oneself wrong than to insist on being right --especially when one is right.”
― Nietzsche, Friedrich Wilhelms
