Famous quotes containing the words remote and/or method:
“All our civilization had meant nothing. The same culture that had nurtured the kindly enlightened people among whom I had been brought up, carried around with it war. Why should I not have known this? I did know it, but I did not believe it. I believed it as we believe we are going to die. Something that is to happen in some remote time.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (18741966)
“English! they are barbarians; they dont believe in the great God. I told him, Excuse me, Sir. We do believe in God, and in Jesus Christ too. Um, says he, and in the Pope? No. And why? This was a puzzling question in these circumstances.... I thought I would try a method of my own, and very gravely replied, Because we are too far off. A very new argument against the universal infallibility of the Pope.”
—James Boswell (17401795)
