What do you believe?
- "Faith is believing what you know damned well ain't so" -- Samuel Clemens
- "Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider." -- Roger Bacon
- "Everybody needs to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer." -- William Claude Fields
- "Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days." -- Crash Davis in Bull Durham.[1]
- "A true friend is someone who believes that you are a good egg even though he knows you are slightly cracked." -- Bernard Meltzer
- "I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." - Galileo Galilei
- "To believe in one's dreams is to spend all of one's life asleep" -- Chinese Proverb
You are what you read. You can't avoid reading some crap - so be sure to read lots of good stuff to dilute it....
