Famous quotes containing the words arguments and/or verb:
“‘Tis happy, therefore, that nature breaks the force of all sceptical arguments in time, and keeps them from having any considerable influence on the understanding. Were we to trust entirely to their self-destruction, that can never take place, ‘till they have first subverted all conviction, and have totally destroy’d human reason.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“The word is the Verb, and the Verb is God.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
