Famous quotes containing the word reasonable:

“Summer involves going down as a steep flight of steps
To a narrow ledge over the water. Is this it, then,
This iron comfort, these reasonable taboos,
Or did you mean it when you stopped? And the face
Resembles yours, the one reflected in the water.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“... the novelist is bound by the reasonable possibilities, not the probabilities, of his culture.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

“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.
”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
