'Truth has to be repeated constantly' - Goethe

This quote was posted to this blog by a reader yesterday.

"Truth has to be repeated constantly, because error also is being preached all the time, and not just by a few, but by the multitude. 


"In the press and encyclopaedias, in schools and universities, everywhere error holds sway, feeling happy and comfortable in the knowledge of having majority on its side.”

― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
