False Information

Famous quotes containing the words false and/or information:

    Hereditary property sophisticates the mind, and the unfortunate victims to it ... swathed from their birth, seldom exert the locomotive faculty of body or mind; and, thus viewing every thing through one medium, and that a false one, they are unable to discern in what true merit and happiness consist.
    Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)

    I believe it has been said that one copy of The Times contains more useful information than the whole of the historical works of Thucydides.
