About This Quote
If we refuse to accept knowledge because it frightens us, we will never grow. If we give in to fear, we will never outgrow hatred. The quote above was written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, one of the greatest German poets of all time. He considered fear to be the root of all evil and ignorance to be the greatest evil that could befall mankind. He once wrote that “The only thing that doesn’t kill you is finding out that you can’t kill yourself.”
