Optimist Creed

Famous quotes containing the words optimist and/or creed:

    I’m a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will.
    Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937)

    Of course, Behaviorism “works.” So does torture. Give me a no- nonsense, down-to-earth behaviorist, a few drugs, and simple electrical appliances, and in six months I will have him reciting the Athanasian Creed in public.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
