False Belief

Famous quotes containing the words false and/or belief:

    Whereas the comic confronts simply logical contradictions, the tragic confronts a moral predicament. Not minor matters of true and false but crucial questions of right and wrong, good and evil face the tragic character in a tragic situation.
    —Marie Collins Swabey. Comic Laughter, ch. 7, Yale University Press (1961)

    ... a curious superstition. This is the belief that, if there be introspection at all, it must give exhaustive and infallible information.
    Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
