Composition Written

Famous quotes containing the words composition and/or written:

“When I think of God, when I think of him as existent, and when I believe him to be existent, my idea of him neither increases nor diminishes. But as it is certain there is a great difference betwixt the simple conception of the existence of an object, and the belief of it, and as this difference lies not in the parts or composition of the idea which we conceive; it follows, that it must lie in the manner in which we conceive it.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)

“The very ink in which history is written is merely fluid prejudice.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
