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.

Do you know what makes someone beautiful? Confidence. You don't have to have this shape eyes or that shape lips. No one seems to be able to decide which shape is best anyway. You can have every kind of blemish. It's confidence that attracts people. That's what everybody's looking for. It's what no potion can really give you. And believe me, Belle, you've got it. You've got it if you want it.
