Famous quotes containing the words false and/or belief:
“The books one reads in childhood, and perhaps most of all the bad and good bad books, create in one’s mind a sort of false map of the world, a series of fabulous countries into which one can retreat at odd moments throughout the rest of life, and which in some cases can survive a visit to the real countries which they are supposed to represent.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“The ears of men are lesser agents of belief than their eyes.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
