True Belief

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or belief:

    “Lucky Man,
    it’s true that she’s virtuous
    and has a beautiful body.
    And it’s true that I am lacking.
    But tell me:
    will all these people
    who aren’t like her
    have to die?”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    “What
    One believes is what matters. Ecstatic identities
    Between one’s self and the weather and the things
    Of the weather are the belief in one’s element,
    The casual reunions, the long-pondered
    Surrenders, the repeated sayings that
    There is nothing more and that it is enough....”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
