Dangerous

Famous quotes containing the word dangerous:

    Insane!... Ask the tyrant who is his most dangerous foe, the sane man or the insane?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It is not when it is dangerous to tell the truth that its advocates are hardest to find, but when it is boring.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    I have always suspected that too much knowledge is a dangerous thing. It is a boon to people who don’t have deep feelings; their pleasure comes from what they know about things, and their pride from showing off what they know. But this only emphasizes the difference between the artist and the scholar.
    Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
