“Even if it is given that someone understands the name God to signify what is said, namely, that than which a greater cannot be conceived, it does not follow that what is signified by this name exists in the nature of things, but only that it exists in the apprehension of the understanding.”
—Thomas Aquinas (c. 12251274)
“Through the port comes the moon-shine astray!
It tips the guards cutlass and silvers this nook;
But twill die in the dawning of Billys last day.
A jewel-block theyll make of me to-morrow,
Pendant pearl from the yard-arm-end
Like the ear-drop I gave to Bristol Molly
O, tis me, not the sentence theyll suspend.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
“We doubt not the destiny of our countrythat she is to accomplish great things for human nature, and be the mother of a nobler race than the world has yet known. But she has been so false to the scheme made out at her nativity, that it is now hard to say which way that destiny points.”
—Margaret Fuller (18101850)
