Famous quotes containing the word ignorant:
“You may say a cat uses good grammar. Well, a cat does—but you let a cat get excited once; you let a cat get to pulling fur with another cat on a shed, nights, and you’ll hear grammar that will give you the lockjaw. Ignorant people think it’s the noise which fighting cats make that is so aggravating, but it ain’t so; it’s the sickening grammar they use.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“The past is ignorant of the present. Be careful in taking its advice.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Until you understand a writer’s ignorance, presume yourself ignorant of his understanding.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
