Suspicion

Famous quotes containing the word suspicion:

“Democracy is the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right more than half of the time.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)

“Now my own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.”
—J.B.S. (John Burdon Sanderson)

“What ails it, intrinsically, is a dearth of intellectual audacity and of aesthetic passion. Running through it, and characterizing the work of almost every man and woman producing it, there is an unescapable suggestion of the old Puritan suspicion of the fine arts as such—of the doctrine that they offer fit asylum for good citizens only when some ulterior and superior purpose is carried into them.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
