Famous quotes containing the words divine and/or predecessors:
“He never supposed divine
Things might not look divine, nor that if nothing
Was divine then all things were, the world itself,
And that if nothing was the truth, then all
Things were the truth, the world itself was the truth.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“No philosopher understands his predecessors until he has re-thought their thought in his own contemporary terms.”
