Perceive

Famous quotes containing the word perceive:

    Well: what we gain by science is, after all, sadness, as the Preacher saith. The more we know of the laws & nature of the Universe the more ghastly a business we perceive it all to be—& the non-necessity of it.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    I am surprised at the way people seem to perceive me, and sometimes I read stories and hear things about me and I go “ugh.” I wouldn’t like her either. It’s so unlike what I think I am or what my friends think I am.
    Hillary Rodham Clinton (b. 1947)

    I do perceive here a divided duty.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
