Supposed

Famous quotes containing the word supposed:

    He never supposed divine
    Things might not look divine, nor that if nothing
    Was divine then all things were, the world itself,
    And that if nothing was the truth, then all
    Things were the truth, the world itself was the truth.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    No woman ever yet either reasoned or acted long together consequentially; but some little thing, some love, some resentment, some present momentary interest, some supposed slight, or some humour, always breaks in upon, and oversets their most prudent resolutions and schemes.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Such tricks hath strong imagination
    That, if it would but apprehend some joy,
    It comprehends some bringer of that joy;
    Or in the night, imagining some fear,
    How easy is a bush supposed a bear?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
