How can people be so stupid? I marvel at that. See, I think you have to work as being ignorant - and if you're gonna work at being ignorant, why not work at being informed?
I'm against ignorance.
A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read.
I'm a fact-based leader.
Leaders can either lead or mislead. If you lead, you must lead with facts.
Know what you're talking about.
Only an educated and informed people will be a free people.
Some problems are so complex that you have to be highly intelligent and well informed just to be undecided about them.
You can be aware and educated and informed, but you've got to place emphasis on being compassionate, having empathy and understanding.
Really knowing is good. Not knowing, or refusing to know, is bad, or amoral, at least. You can't act if you don't know. Acting without knowing takes you right off the cliff.
To be modern is to be aware of what is going on.
I like to know what's happening.
The more informed you are, the less arrogant and aggressive you are.
You have to be either naive or power-hungry to get into politics. I wouldn't consider it myself. I am too well-informed.
John Rogers has an encyclopedic mind. Having John as our showrunner is the gift that keeps on giving. He knows more trivial information than anyone I've ever met in my entire life.
I read widely - for news, the arts, science, for entertainment, and the value of being informed - and, as a fiction writer, I can't help transposing what I learn into the scenario for a novel or story.
The man who is too busy to read is never likely to lead.
Even with the best of intentions, even when they're very smart and knowledgeable - as opposed to George W., who is neither - it doesn't seem to matter.
The first thing anyone can do, about any issue, is get informed.
Trump is very plugged in. He's very connected.
If one reads enough books, one has a fighting chance.
I have not been briefed.
At HBO, they seem to be well-informed. They make what I think are really quite mature films.
I had been there before; I knew all about it.
To the extent that we are all educated and informed, we will be more equipped to deal with the gut issues that tend to divide us.
