Famous quotes containing the word belief:

    Religion ... may be defined thus: a belief in, and homage rendered to, existences unseen and causes unknown.
    Frances Wright (1795–1852)

    The belief that established science and scholarship—which have so relentlessly excluded women from their making—are “objective” and “value-free” and that feminist studies are “unscholarly,” “biased,” and “ideological” dies hard. Yet the fact is that all science, and all scholarship, and all art are ideological; there is no neutrality in culture!
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    With a woman, a man always wants to let himself go. And it is precisely with a woman that he should never let himself go ... but stick to his innermost belief and meet her just there.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
