False Consensus

Famous quotes containing the words false and/or consensus:

“Nothing can be true which is either complete or vacant; every touch is false which does not suggest more than it represents, and every space is false which represents nothing.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)

“No consensus of men can make an error erroneous. We can only find or commit an error, not create it. When we commit an error, we say what was an error already.”
—Josiah Royce (1855–1916)
