True Believers Quotes (page 9)

My mother had more than once remarked that my father was one of the war's casualties, that the Sam Hall who came back wasn't the one who left, the one she'd fallen in love with. I didn't doubt that she believed this certain truth, or even that it was true, after a fashion. But it was a nice way of ignoring another simple truth--that people changed, with or without wars, and that we sometimes don't know people as well as we think we do, that the worst errors in judgment often result from... Richard Russo
George Eliot quote: "What we call the 'just possible' is sometimes true and the..."
What we call the 'just possible' is sometimes true and the thing we find it easier to believe is grossly false. George Eliot
Albert Camus quote: "What I believe to be true I must therefore preserve. What..."
What I believe to be true I must therefore preserve. What seems to me so obvious, even against me, I must support. Albert Camus
Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you? Am I making believe I see in you, a woman too perfect to be really true? Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you? Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream, or are you really as beautiful as you seem? Oscar Hammerstein II
Terry Prachett quote: "You need to believe in things that aren't true. How else can..."
You need to believe in things that aren't true. How else can they become? Terry Prachett
Oscar Wilde quote: "The true artist is a man who believes absolutely in himself,..."
The true artist is a man who believes absolutely in himself, because he is absolutely himself. Oscar Wilde
Since the topic is science, the non scientists don't get a vote. We shouldn't decide everything by polling the masses. This is the fallacy called Argumentum Ad Numerum, the idea that something is true because great number believe it, as in EAT SHIT, twenty trillions flies can't be wrong! Bill Maher
I was born to love - but none of you wanted to believe it, and that misunderstanding was crucial in forming my character. It's true that nature was strangely inconsistent in giving me a warm heart, but also a face that was like a stone mask and a tongue that was heavy and slow. She refused me what she bestowed freely on even the most loutish of my fellow men. . . . People judged my inner character by my outer covering, and like a sterile fruit, I withered under the rough husk I couldn't... George Sand
I came to believe it not true that "the coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave man only one." I think it is the other way around: It is the brave who die a thousand deaths. For it is imagination, and not just conscience, which doth make cowards of us all. Those who do not know fear are not truly brave. Leo Rosten
Men became scientific because they expected Law in Nature, and they expected Law in Nature because they believed in a Legislator. In most modern scientists this belief has died: it will be interesting to see how long their confidence in uniformity survives it. Two significant developments have already appeared—the hypothesis of a lawless sub-nature, and the surrender of the claim that science is true. We may be living nearer than we suppose to the end of the Scientific Age. C. S. Lewis
Jodi Picoult quote: "If you want something to be true badly enough, you can rewrite..."
If you want something to be true badly enough, you can rewrite it that way, in your head. You can even start to believe it. Jodi Picoult
Charles Simic quote: "A true confession: I believe in a soluble fish."
A true confession: I believe in a soluble fish. Charles Simic
Now I have a theory that if a woman wants to keep a man she only needs to say two things: She believes in him and he's got a big a cock. That's all it takes. It doesn't even have to be true. Ethan Hawke
No one expected to be safe until this century, if you read a little history. Think of the thousands of years before- years with no law, when the sword ruled. No widespread system of justice; no immunizations against disease. The local lord free to kill the husbands, husbands free to rape and kill their wives. Childbirth often fatal. No antibiotics. It's only here and now that women are raised believing they'll be safe. And it serves us false. It's not true. It dulls our sense of fear, which... Charlaine Harris
So If you're feelin' lonely.. don't You're the only one I'd ever want I only wanna make it good So if I love ya a little more than I should Please forgive me I know not what I do Please forgive me I can't stop lovin' you Don't deny me This pain I'm going through Please forgive me If I need ya like I do Please believe me Every word I say is true Please forgive me I can't stop loving you Still feels like our best times are together Feels like the first touch Bryan Adams
