Famous quotes containing the word belief:

    “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)

    “The belief of our Reason is an Exercise of Faith, and Faith is an Act of Reason.”
    —Joseph Glanvill (1636–1680)

    “With most people disbelief in a thing is founded on a blind belief in some other thing.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
