Believes

Famous quotes containing the word believes:

“Yet to speak of the whole world as metaphor
Is still to stick to the contents of the mind
And the desire to believe in a metaphor.
It is to stick to the nicer knowledge of
Belief, that what it believes in is not true.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“... whoever believes anything esteems that it is a work of charity to persuade another of it.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“‘Tis with our judgments as our watches, none
Go just alike, yet each believes his own.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
