Famous quotes containing the word belief:

“What
One believes is what matters. Ecstatic identities
Between ones self and the weather and the things
Of the weather are the belief in ones element,
The casual reunions, the long-pondered
Surrenders, the repeated sayings that
There is nothing more and that it is enough....”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
