Famous quotes containing the word thought:

    “It is a dogma of the Roman Church that the existence of God can be proved by natural reason. Now this dogma would make it impossible for me to be a Roman Catholic. If I thought of God as another being like myself, outside myself, only infinitely more powerful, then I would regard it as my duty to defy him.”
    —Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    “Hannah was praying silently; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard; therefore Eli thought she was drunk.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, 1 Samuel 1:13.

    “He’s got hay down that’s been rained on three times.
    He hoed a little yesterday for me:
    I thought the growing things would do him good.
    Something went wrong. I saw him throw the hoe
    Sky-high with both hands.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
