Famous quotes containing the words coat and/or arms:
“Essential truth, the truth of the intellectualists, the truth with no one thinking it, is like the coat that fits tho no one has ever tried it on, like the music that no ear has listened to. It is less real, not more real, than the verified article; and to attribute a superior degree of glory to it seems little more than a piece of perverse abstraction-worship.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“It is good to be tired and wearied by the futile search after the true good, that we may stretch out our arms to the Redeemer.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
