Molly Ivins Believe Quotations

I believe that ignorance is the root of all evil. And that no one knows the truth.

I still believe in Hope - mostly because there's no such place as Fingers Crossed, Arkansas.

I believe in practicing prudence at least once every two or three years.

I believe all Southern liberals come from the same starting point--race. Once you figure out they are lying to you about race, you start to question everything.

The Libertarians, of whom I'm rather fond, are running Harry Browne. Libertarians are, just as they claim, principled and consistent- they believe in individual liberty. Commendable as they are, and despite their reliability as allies in civil liberties struggles, you may notice that Libertarians sometimes prove that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, and that there is a difference between logic and wisdom.
