Famous quotes containing the word convinced:
“When once—which every body must be—you are convinced of the wickedness and deceit of men, it is impossible to preserve untainted your own innocence of heart. Experience will prove the depravity of mankind, and the conviction of it only serves to create distrust, suspicion—caution—and sometimes causelessly.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“I’ve never been convinced that experience is linear, circular, or even random. It just is. I try to put it in some kind of order to extract meaning from it, to bring meaning to it.”
—Toni Cade Bambara (b. 1939)
“If you are convinced of a matter, you must take sides or you don’t deserve to succeed.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
