I'd rather be blind if I have to watch us fade.

I would rather be damned as naïve than willfully ignorant.

I would rather have a wrong decision made than no decision at all.

I’d rather be an optimist and be wrong than be a pessimist and be right.

I would rather be wrong, by God, with Plato than be correct with those men.

I would rather be right than be President.

I would rather be beaten in Right than succeed in Wrong.

Prefer being rejected at your new standard than being accepted at your old one.

I prefer nothing, unless it is true.

I would prefer not to.

I would far rather be ignorant than knowledgeable of evil.

I would rather be dead.

If I were to go blind, what would bother me the most would be no longer to be able to stare idiotically at the passing clouds.

Better be without sense than misapply it as you do.
