I maintain that there is no common language or medium of understanding between people of education and without it - between those who judge of things from books or from their senses. Ignorance has so far the advantage over learning; for it can make an appeal to you from what you know; but you cannot re-act upon it through that which it is a perfect stranger to. Ignorance is, therefore, power. ✨ William Hazlitt (2015). Delphi Collected Works of William Hazlitt (Illustrated), p.2452, Delphi Classics
