Sufficient Reason

Famous quotes containing the words sufficient and/or reason:

“Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that a single book is not. A book is not an isolated entity: it is a narration, an axis of innumerable narrations. One literature differs from another, either before or after it, not so much because of the text as for the manner in which it is read.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

“Law is the highest reason implanted in Nature, which commands what ought to be done and forbids the opposite.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
