True Position

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or position:

“The only question which any wise man can ask himself, and which any honest man will ask himself, is whether a doctrine is true or false.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

“The word “jealousy” is often used as if it were synonymous with envy; but I think the distinction worth preserving. Jealousy is predominantly concerned with the fear of loss of something one possesses, envy with the wish to own something another possesses. Othello suffers from the fear that he has lost Desdemona’s love. Iago suffers from envy of the position held by Cassio, to which he feels entitled.”
—Anthony Storr (b. 1920)
