External Reasons

Famous quotes containing the words external and/or reasons:

“The soul, he said, is composed
Of the external world.”

To the hot passion of distempered blood
Than to make up a free determination
‘Twixt right and wrong; for pleasure and revenge
Have ears more deaf than adders to the voice
Of any true decision.”
