False Information

Famous quotes containing the words false and/or information:

    “The world has already learned that woman has other virtues than meekness, patience, humility and endurance. She possesses courage above all fear, and a will that knows no obstacles; and when these are called forth by some great emergency, false modesty is trampled in the dust, and spheres are scattered to the winds.”
    —A. Holley, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Lily, p. 38 (May 1852)

    “But while ignorance can make you insensitive, familiarity can also numb. Entering the second half-century of an information age, our cumulative knowledge has changed the level of what appalls, what stuns, what shocks.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
