Famous quotes containing the word belief:
“Religion ... may be defined thus: a belief in, and homage rendered to, existences unseen and causes unknown.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
“My belief is that no movie, nothing in life, leaves people neutral. You either leave them up or you leave them down.”
—David Puttnam (b. 1941)
“To be faced with what so-and-so’s mother lets him do, or what the teacher said in class today or what all the kids are wearing is to be required to reexamine some part of our belief structure. Each time we rethink our values we reaffirm them or begin to change them. Seen in this way, parenthood affords us an exceptional opportunity for growth.”
—Ruth Davidson Bell (20th century)
