Turns

Famous quotes containing the word turns:

“I learn to affirm
Truth’s light at strange turns of the mind’s road,
wrong turns that lead
over the border into wonder....”

Ask not whom they sleep beside,
And the bridegroom all night through
Never turns him to the bride.”

“The will is one of the chief factors in belief, not that it creates belief, but because things are true or false according to the aspect in which we look at them. The will, which prefers one aspect to another, turns away the mind from considering the qualities of all that it does not like to see; and thus the mind, moving in accord with the will, stops to consider the aspect which it likes and so judges by what it sees.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
