Famous quotes containing the words false and/or belief:
“I have been born many times, a false Messiah,
but let me be born again
into something true.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Just as a person who is always asserting that he is too good-natured is the very one from whom to expect, on some occasion, the coldest and most unconcerned cruelty, so when any group sees itself as the bearer of civilization this very belief will betray it into behaving barbarously at the first opportunity.”
—Simone Weil (1910–1943)
