📖 Quote about ignorer
Je consens qu'une femme ait des clartés de tout, Mais je ne lui veux point la passion choquante De se rendre savante afin d'être savante ; Et j'aime que souvent, aux questions qu'on fait, Elle sache ignorer les choses qu'elle sait.
I accept that a woman has insight into everything, But I do not want her to have the shocking passion of making herself learned in order to be learned; And I like that often, to the questions we ask, She knows how to ignore the things she knows.
— Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, dit Molière Paris 1622-Paris 1673
