Famous quotes containing the words false and/or belief:
“The world has already learned that woman has other virtues than meekness, patience, humility and endurance. She possesses courage above all fear, and a will that knows no obstacles; and when these are called forth by some great emergency, false modesty is trampled in the dust, and spheres are scattered to the winds.”
—A. Holley, U.S. womens magazine contributor. The Lily, p. 38 (May 1852)
“What
One believes is what matters. Ecstatic identities
Between ones self and the weather and the things
Of the weather are the belief in ones element,
The casual reunions, the long-pondered
Surrenders, the repeated sayings that
There is nothing more and that it is enough....”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
