Suspicious Claims

Famous quotes containing the words suspicious and/or claims:

“Whenever we discover a dislike in us, toward any one, we should ever be a little suspicious of ourselves.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“A building is akin to dogma; it is insolent, like dogma. Whether or no it is permanent, it claims permanence, like a dogma. People ask why we have no typical architecture of the modern world, like impressionism in painting. Surely it is obviously because we have not enough dogmas; we cannot bear to see anything in the sky that is solid and enduring, anything in the sky that does not change like the clouds of the sky.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
