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)
“I’d rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
