Miracles are not
contrary to nature, but only
contrary to what we know about nature.
View quotes by Saint AugustineConsistency is
contrary to nature,
contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are dead.
View quotes by Aldous HuxleyOn good friend Nicole Kidman:
'I've never worked with her. I met her through a couple good girlfriends of mine. She has a great sense of humor. She laughs easily. I like hanging out with people who laugh easily.
Contrary to popular opinion, I like to be a little silly.'
View quotes by Russell CroweTo every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or, the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to
contrary parts. (Principia Mathematica)
View quotes by Sir Isaac NewtonOn her relationship with Kym Marsh:
'
Contrary to what everyone thinks, there had never been this almighty fight, half of me wishes there had been because then we could have made up. Instead we were both just reading the stories in the press, which weren't true, and filling in the gaps ourselves. You're bound to get it wrong - and we did. Kym said, 'Well I heard you said this' and I said, 'Well I heard you said this' and then we both burst out laughing because all of it was so made up'.
View quotes by Myleene KlassGround not upon dreams; you know they are ever
contrary.
View quotes by Thomas MiddletonIt is not
contrary to reason to prefer the destruction of the whole world to the scratching of my finger. (A Treatise Upon Human Nature)
View quotes by David HumeMistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them - On the
contrary: rationalize them, understand them thoroughly - After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them.
View quotes by Salvador DaliIn crossing a heath, suppose I pitched my foot against a stone, and were asked how the stone came to be there: I might possibly answer, that for any thing I know to the
contrary, it had lain there for ever: nor would it perhaps be very easy to show the absurdity of this answer. But suppose I had found a watch upon the ground, and it should be inquired how the watch happened to be in that place; I should hardly think of the answer which I had before given, that for any thing I knew, the watch might have always been there. Yet why should not this answer serve for the watch, as well as for the stone? why is it not as admissable in the second case as in the first? For this reason, and for no other, viz., that when we come to inspect the watch, we perceive (what we could not discover in the stone) that its several parts are framed and put together for a purpose . . . This mechanism being observed . . . the inference, we think, is inevitable, that the watch must have had a maker; that there must have existed, at some time, and at some place of other, an artificer or artificers, who formed it for the purpose which we find it actually to answer; who comprehended its construction, and designed its use.
View quotes by William PaleyContrary to general belief, I do not believe that friends are necessarily the people you like best, they are merely the people who got there first.
View quotes by Peter UstinovWealth is not without its advantages and the case to the
contrary, although it has often been made, has never proved widely persuasive.
View quotes by GalbraithKnowledge is not simply another commodity. On the
contrary. Knowledge is never used up. It increases by diffusion and grows by dispersion.
View quotes by Daniel BoorstinIf you follow reason far enough it always leads to conclusions that are
contrary to reason.
View quotes by Samuel ButlerThat a whole part of the middle class detests me... is utterly normal. I would be troubled if the
contrary were true.
View quotes by Simone De BeauvoirAt present, intelligent people do not have their children vaccinated, nor does the law now compel them to. The result is not, as the Jennerians prophesied, the extermination of the human race by smallpox; on the
contrary more people are now killed by vaccination than by smallpox.
View quotes by George Bernard ShawThey proclaim that every man is entitled to exist without labor and, the laws of reality to the
contrary notwithstanding, is entitled to receive his 'minimum sustenance' his food, his clothes, his shelter, with no effort on his part, as his due and his birthright. To receive it, from whom?
View quotes by Ayn RandAssuredly we bring not innocence not the world, we bring impurity much rather: that which purifies us is trial, and trial is by what is
contrary.
View quotes by John MiltonExtreme positions are not succeeded by moderate ones, but by
contrary extreme positions.
View quotes by Friedrich NietzscheDo not be fooled into believing that because a man is rich he is necessarily smart. There is ample proof to the
contrary.
View quotes by Julius RosenwaldWith no matter what human being, taken individually, I always find reasons for concluding that sorrow and misfortune do not suit him; either because he seems too mediocre for anything so great, or, on the
contrary, too precious to be destroyed.
