Confirmation bias Quotes

“With enough mental gymnastics, just about any fact can become misshapen in favor to one's confirmation bias.”

“How often – I continue reflecting – is it that we see what we want to see, rather than what is really before our eyes. In the trade we call this confirmation bias, and our brains are riddled with it. We take a position on something and thereafter only see whatever confirms that position, ignoring all evidence to the contrary.”
