Reasons

Famous quotes containing the word reasons:

    The reasons you allege do more conduce
    To the hot passion of distempered blood
    Than to make up a free determination
    ‘Twixt right and wrong; for pleasure and revenge
    Have ears more deaf than adders to the voice
    Of any true decision.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Youth does not require reasons for living, it only needs pretexts.
    José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)

    Given the existence ... of a personal God ... who ... loves us dearly ... it is established beyond all doubt ... that man ... wastes and pines ... for reasons unknown.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
