Famous quotes containing the words stevens and/or pass:

    Force is my lot and not pink-clustered
    Roma ni Avignon ni Leyden,
    And cold, my element. Death is my
    Master and, without light, I dwell.
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Truth lives, in fact, for the most part on a credit system. Our thoughts and beliefs ‘pass,’ so long as nothing challenges them, just as bank-notes pass so long as nobody refuses them.
    William James (1842–1910)
