“Truth has to be repeated constantly, because Error also is being preached all the time, and not just by a few, but by the many. In the Press and Encyclopaedias, in Schools and Universities, everywhere Error holds sway, feeling happy and comfortable in the knowledge of having the Majority on its side.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All readers here should be aware that Goethe had a terrible lifelong habit of speaking truthfully.
He also remarked that “To the intelligent mind, there is nothing more frightening than ignorance in action,” to which I think we can all say “Ditto, and Amen!”
