Ignorance is the mother of presumption

So long as the mother, Ignorance, lives, it is not safe for Science, the offspring, to divulge the hidden cause of things

Ignorance is the mother of devotion

If you would abolish avarice, you must abolish its mother, luxury

REBECCA:
If you sit long enough, maybe everything becomes clear. Maybe you can make sense of all the losses and find one thing you can hold on to. I'm sitting here thinking of everything that has passed, everyone that is gone, and hoping I can find her, my mother. Not because she is my first choice, but because she is my last choice and... my world has gone to shit.

Nothing is so dangerous as an ignorant friend; a wise enemy is worth more. [Fr., Rien n'est si dangereux qu'un ignorant ami; Mieux vaudrait un sage ennemi.]
