Famous quotes containing the word equally:
“There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence.

—René Descartes (15961650)
“Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed,a, to me, equally mysterious origin for it.”
