Famous quotes containing the words sources, beliefs, world and/or view:
“Even healthy families need outside sources of moral guidance to keep those tensions from imploding—and this means, among other things, a public philosophy of gender equality and concern for child welfare. When instead the larger culture aggrandizes wife beaters, degrades women or nods approvingly at child slappers, the family gets a little more dangerous for everyone, and so, inevitably, does the larger world.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (20th century)
“All beliefs are bald ideas.”
—Francis Picabia (1878–1953)
“I find ... that he is happiest of whom the world sais least, good or bad.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The use of literature is to afford us a platform whence we may command a view of our present life, a purchase by which we may move it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
