William Hazlitt Quotes:
Ocupation: Writer
Life: April 10, 1778 - September 18, 1830
Birthday: April 10
Death: September 18
I maintain that there is no common language or medium of understanding between people of education and without it - between those who judge of things from books or from their senses. Ignorance has so far the advantage over learning; for it can make an appeal to you from what you know; but you cannot re-act upon it through that which it is a perfect stranger to. Ignorance is, therefore, power.
