Famous quotes containing the word belief:

    If ever the search for a tranquil belief should end,
    The future might stop emerging out of the past,
    Out of what is full of us; yet the search
    And the future emerging out of us seem to be one.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    My belief is that science is to wreck us, and that we are like monkeys monkeying with a loaded shell; we don’t in the least know or care where our practically infinite energies come from or will bring us to.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    Religion ... may be defined thus: a belief in, and homage rendered to, existences unseen and causes unknown.
    Frances Wright (1795–1852)
