Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

Belief means not wanting to know what is true.

Belief means not wanting to know what is true.

Summary

This quote suggests that possessing strong beliefs can sometimes prevent individuals from seeking or accepting the truth. It implies that holding onto particular beliefs may be a way to avoid facing reality or difficult truths that may challenge or contradict those beliefs. In this context, belief is seen as a barrier to knowledge, as it implies a reluctance to explore or question the veracity of one's own beliefs and subsequently inhibits personal growth and understanding.

One can think of a secretary actively operating a filing system, of a librarian actively cataloguing books, of a computer actively sorting out information. The mind however does not actively sort out information. The information sorts itself out and organises itself into patterns. The mind is passive. The mind only provides an opportunity for the information to behave in this way. The mind provides a special environment in which information can become self-organising. This special environment is a memory surface with special characteristics.ISBN 0140137793 Copyright

In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other's affairs, who come out together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.
