Frivolous Arguments

Famous quotes containing the words frivolous and/or arguments:

“It’s only women who are not really quite women at all, frivolous women who have no idea, who neglect repairs.”
—Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)

“There is no assurance of the great fact in question [namely, immortality]. All the arguments are mere probabilities, analogies, fancies, whims. We believe, or disbelieve, or are in doubt according to our own make-up—to accidents, to education, to environment. For myself, I do not reach either faith or belief ... that I—the conscious person talking to you—will meet you in the world beyond—you being yourself a conscious person—the same person now reading what I say.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
