Famous quotes containing the words hidden and/or reasons:

“The knowingness of little girls
Is hidden underneath their curls.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)

“The source of Pyrrhonism comes from failing to distinguish between a demonstration, a proof and a probability. A demonstration supposes that the contradictory idea is impossible; a proof of fact is where all the reasons lead to belief, without there being any pretext for doubt; a probability is where the reasons for belief are stronger than those for doubting.”
—Andrew Michael Ramsay (1686–1743)
