Quote by Horace Walpole

By deafness one gains in one respect more than one loses one misses more nonsense than sense.

By deafness one gains in one respect more than one loses one

Summary

This quote suggests that being deaf or not hearing certain things can sometimes be beneficial. It implies that by not being able to hear everything, one is protected from hearing meaningless or nonsensical information. In this sense, one gains more by avoiding the nonsense than they lose by missing out on meaningful or valuable conversations, as sensory exclusion can create a filter that limits the exposure to irrelevant or unimportant noise.
