Famous quotes containing the word belief:

    “You must put fear out of your mind. Confront it with the belief that the past is over with, that a new life lies ahead.”
    —Edward T. Lowe. Erle C. Kenton. Dr. Edelman (Onslow Stevens)

    “The disaster ... is not the money, although the money will be missed. The disaster is the disrespect—this belief that the arts are dispensable, that they’re not critical to a culture’s existence.”
    —Twyla Tharp (b. 1941)

    “To be faced with what so-and-so’s mother lets him do, or what the teacher said in class today or what all the kids are wearing is to be required to reexamine some part of our belief structure. Each time we rethink our values we reaffirm them or begin to change them. Seen in this way, parenthood affords us an exceptional opportunity for growth.”
    —Ruth Davidson Bell (20th century)
