Dolphins Moved

Famous quotes containing the words dolphins and/or moved:

    headland beyond stormy headland plunging like dolphins through the
    gray sea-smoke
    Into pale sea, look west at the hill of water: it is half the
    planet: this dome, this half-globe, this bulging
    Eyeball of water,
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    That, upon the whole, we may conclude that the Christian religion not only was at first attended with miracles, but even at this day cannot be believed by any reasonable person without one. Mere reason is insufficient to convince us of its veracity: And whoever is moved by Faith to assent to it, is conscious of a continued miracle in his own person, which subverts all the principles of his understanding, and gives him a determination to believe what is most contrary to custom and experience.
    David Hume (1711–1776)
