Famous quotes containing the words true and/or believer:

    “Young people love what is interesting and odd, no matter how true or false it is. More mature minds love what is interesting and odd about truth. Fully mature intellects, finally, love truth, even when it appears plain and simple, boring to the ordinary person; for they have noticed that truth tends to reveal its highest wisdom in the guise of simplicity.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “One poem proves another and the whole,
    For the clairvoyant men that need no proof:
    The lover, the believer and the poet.
    Their words are chosen out of their desire,
    The joy of language, when it is themselves.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
