"Kredibilitas kita paling besar menyangkut hal-hal ..." — Eric Hoffer — Bijaksana

“

Kredibilitas kita paling besar menyangkut hal-hal yang paling tidak kita ketahui. Dan karena kita paling tidak tahu tentang diri kita sendiri, kita siap untuk mempercayai semua yang dikatakan tentang kita. Karenanya kekuatan misterius sanjungan dan fitnah. Asli: Our credulity is greatest concerning the things we know least about. And since we know least about ourselves, we are ready to believe all that is said about us. Hence the mysterious power of both flattery and calumny.
