Famous quotes containing the words pope and/or innocent:
“Good God! how often are we to die before we go quite off this stage? In every friend we lose a part of ourselves, and the best part.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“The conduct of a man, who studies philosophy in this careless manner, is more truly sceptical than that of any one, who feeling in himself an inclination to it, is yet so over-whelm’d with doubts and scruples, as totally to reject it. A true sceptic will be diffident of his philosophical doubts, as well as of his philosophical conviction; and will never refuse any innocent satisfaction, which offers itself, upon account of either of them.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
