Suspicion

Famous quotes containing the word suspicion:

“To suppose the soul to think, and the man not to perceive it, is, as has been said, to make two persons in one man: And if one considers well these men’s way of speaking, one should be led into a suspicion that they do so. For they who tell us that the soul always thinks, do never, that I remember, say that a man always thinks.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)

“My own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.”
—J.B.S. (John Burdon Sanderson)

“The dullard’s envy of brilliant men is always assuaged by the suspicion that they will come to a bad end.”
—Max Beerbohm (1872–1956)
