Reed Stops

Famous quotes containing the words reed and/or stops:

    When you’re growing up in a small town
    You know you’ll grow down in a small town
    There is only one good use for a small town
    You hate it and you know you’ll have to leave.
    —Lou Reed (b. 1944)

    The will is one of the chief factors in belief, not that it creates belief, but because things are true or false according to the aspect in which we look at them. The will, which prefers one aspect to another, turns away the mind from considering the qualities of all that it does not like to see; and thus the mind, moving in accord with the will, stops to consider the aspect which it likes and so judges by what it sees.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
