Black Sect

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or sect:

    The lore of our fathers is a fabric of sentences.... It is a pale gray lore, black with fact and white with convention. But I have found no substantial reasons for concluding that there are any quite black threads in it, or any white ones.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    Thus Pyrrhonism is not a sect of people who are persuaded of what they say, but it is a sect of liars.
    Antoine Arnauld (1612–1694)
