Famous quotes containing the word belief:

“The worst cynicism: a belief in luck”
—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)

“It seems, Euphranor..., that there is nothing so singularly absurd as we are apt to think, in the belief of mysteries; and that a man need not renounce his reason to maintain his religion. But if this were true, how comes it to pass, that, in proportion as men abound in knowledge, they dwindle in faith?”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
