Belief Quotes

Beneath all the rhetoric about relevance lies a profoundly disturbing possibility - that people may base their lives upon an illusion, upon a blatant lie. The attractiveness of a belief is all too often inversely proportional to its truth... To allow relevance to be given greater weight than truth is a mark of intellectual shallowness and moral irresponsibility Picture Quote #1

The superabundance is an ecological myth that we will never run out of resources, that the Earth, that Gaia, is in this perpetual state of renewal. And the contagious magic is the blind belief that this is the case, and the reason we’re careering towards ecological disaster Picture Quote #1

I am a traditionalist, and I’m an innovator. Most of what I do is to weigh change and legislate to the best of my ability on what should change and what should not. Do I have a respect for tradition? Of course I do. Do I have a blind belief in it? No Picture Quote #1

Before the rise of the nation-state, between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries, the world was mostly tribal. Tribes were united by language, religion, blood, and belief. They feared other tribes and often warred against them Picture Quote #1

There are many reasons why vulnerable young people join militant groups, but among them are poverty and ignorance. Indeed Boko Haram - which translates in English, roughly, as ‘Western Education Is Sinful’ - preys on the perverted belief that the opportunities that education brings are sinful Picture Quote #1

My belief that the publishing industry is run by prigs and cowards dates back to many years before I even had the idea for the book Picture Quote #1

Literary men now routinely tell their readers about their divorces. One literary man who reviews books wrote, in reviewing a study of Ruskin, that he had never read a book by Ruskin but that the study confirmed him in his belief that he didn’t want to read a book by Ruskin. This man very often writes about his family life Picture Quote #1

It had been a humdrum couple of days, reaffirming his belief in reincarnation: everything was so boring that this could not be the first time he’d experienced it Picture Quote #1

The belief that the world was created yesterday seems to hold great appeal to those born at that time Picture Quote #1

Whatever negative things people think and say about you is enough to bring you down provided you belief that it carries a weight that can push you hard. Don’t agree to accept what critics say; be prepared to silence them by doing what they think you can’t do! Picture Quote #1

I want to see a new system. I believe that the credit scoring system is broken. That’s my belief Picture Quote #1

We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandated of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them Picture Quote #1

My frustration has always been that I’m a Christian, but I don’t buy into, never have bought into, the belief that Jesus and God are these men who just dictate that this is how you have to live your life or you are going to burn in hell Picture Quote #1

There’s no greatest moment in the arts. It’s a life, it’s a continuity thing. You can’t have a great moment because it’s spiritual. It’s a belief, it’s a calling. If you’re an artist, doing your own thing on your own, it’s while you’re doing it that counts. It’s a process. If you get too elated, you can get too depressed Picture Quote #1

You cannot be escorted by the belief of inadequacy and get to the destination of excellence. Go along with a can do spirit because that is the only companion! Picture Quote #1

I am leaving because I have to fight simultaneously a potential recurrence of cancer the Democratic leadership, a health care bill that’s going to destroy this country, my opposition to it and a belief that my party has become what it became - what it campaigned against Picture Quote #1

If you start from a belief that the most knowledgeable person on earth does not have even one percent of the total knowledge on earth, that shoots down social engineering, economic central planning, judicial activism and innumerable other ambitious notions favored by the political left Picture Quote #1

Comedy is much more challenging, because you have to have the same level of belief but you have to make people laugh, and that’s definitely a challenge Picture Quote #1

I miss improv. I hate it in a way - watching it, doing it - but only because it’s so challenging and nerve wracking. Improv is the only belief system I’ve ever experienced that directly works on how to be. Just how to be Picture Quote #1

I faced quite a few challenging times, and in front of those, I was more positive than some people not facing those conditions. I’m actually of the belief now that it is that struggle that offers you that open-hearted hope Picture Quote #1

Fear of death, wonder at the causes of chance events or unintelligible happenings, hope for divine aid and gratitude for good fortune, cooperated to generate religious belief Picture Quote #1

My mother’s belief in spiritual healers grew stronger after our family went through a rough patch following my father’s death. Sufi saint Karimullah Shah Kadri changed our lives, and all of us converted to Sufism. But it wasn’t an instantaneous decision - it took us 10 years to convert. The change in religion was like washing away the past Picture Quote #1

Television is much more difficult because at every moment the network can force you to change things based on their belief about what would make it popular. You’re in a constant debate with a gun at your head, and the gun is cancellation. So it’s hard to win the arguments Picture Quote #1

The dullest man in the world is charming beyond belief when he’s pouring gold coins from one hand to the other Picture Quote #1

I never want to make a child worried or afraid, and I don’t think I do. My pictures are born from the belief that children are far more capable and aware of social complexities than we give them credit for Picture Quote #1
