Berkeley Springs

Famous quotes containing the words berkeley and/or springs:

    It seems, Euphranor..., that there is nothing so singularly absurd as we are apt to think, in the belief of mysteries; and that a man need not renounce his reason to maintain his religion. But if this were true, how comes it to pass, that, in proportion as men abound in knowledge, they dwindle in faith?
    —George Berkeley (1685–1753)

    All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling. To be natural is to be obvious, and to be obvious is to be inartistic.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
