  Learning, n. The kind of ignorance distinguishing the studious.
 ~sayings about ignorance by Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary

  There are few things that are so unpardonably neglected in our country as poker. The upper class knows very little about it.

 ~ignorance quotes by Andy McIntyre

  The quintessential revolution is that of the spirit, born of an intellectual conviction of the need for change in those mental attitudes and values which shape the course of a nation's development. A revolution which aims merely at changing official policies and institutions with a view to an improvement in material conditions has little chance of genuine success. Without a revolution in spirit, the forces which had produced inequities of the old order would continue to be operative, posing a constant threat to the process of reform and regeneration. It is not enough merely to call for freedom, democracy and human rights. There has to be a united determination to persevere in the struggle, to make sacrifices in the name of enduring truths, to resist the corrupting influences of desire, ill will, ignorance, and fear.
