Awful Truth

Famous quotes containing the words awful and/or truth:

    When awful darkness and silence reign
    Over the great Gromboolian plain,
    Through the long, long wintry nights;—
    Edward Lear (1812–1888)

    A person, seasoned with a just sense of the imperfections of natural reason, will fly to revealed truth with the greatest avidity: while the haughty Dogmatist, persuaded that he can erect a compleat system of Theology by the mere help of philosophy, disdains any further aid, and rejects this adventitious instructor.
    David Hume (1711–1776)
