Famous quotes containing the words virtuous and/or reality:
“There is many a virtuous woman weary of her trade.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Do you call it doubting to write down on a piece of paper that you doubt? If so, doubt has nothing to do with any serious business. But do not make believe; if pedantry has not eaten all the reality out of you, recognize, as you must, that there is much that you do not doubt, in the least. Now that which you do not at all doubt, you must and do regard as infallible, absolute truth.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
