真正的无知不是知识的缺乏,而是拒绝获取知识。
卡尔·波普尔

卡尔·波普尔(Karl Popper,1902年7月28日-1994年9月17日),男,哲学家。

Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither understood the theory nor the problem which it was intended to solve.

如果你认为一个理论是唯一可能的理论,这表明你既不理解这个理论,也不理解这个理论要解决的问题。

True ignorance is not the absence of knowledge, but the refusal to acquire it.

真正的无知不是知识的缺乏,而是拒绝获取知识。

Those who promise us paradise on earth never produced anything but a hell.

那些许诺我们人间天堂的人除了地狱什么都没有搞出来。

Freedom is more important than equality. The attempt to realize equality endangers freedom. If freedom is lost, there will not even be equality among the unfree.

自由比平等重要。实现平等的企图危及了自由。如果失去了自由,就连在不自由的人中间也不会有平等。

The only way to test a hypothesis is to look for all the information that disagrees with it.

检验一个假设的唯一方法是寻找所有反对该假设的信息。

It is wrong to think that belief in freedom always leads to victory; we must always be prepared for it to lead to defeat. If we choose freedom, then we must be prepared to perish along with it.

认为对自由的信念总会导致胜利是错误的。我们必须时刻做好失败的准备。如果我们选择自由,那么我们必须准备同它一起消亡。

Whenever we propose a solution to a problem, we ought to try as hard as we can to overthrow our solution, rather than defend it.

每当我们提出问题的解决方案时,我们都应该尽力推翻我们的解决方案,而不是捍卫它。
