View quotes by Margaret DrabbleIn 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 PaleyCertainly in the next 50 years we shall see a woman president,

perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
View quotes by Henry David ThoreauI tried to keep both arts alive, but the camera won. I found that while the camera does not express the soul,
perhaps a photograph can!
View quotes by Ansel Adams Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.
View quotes by Maya AngelouLove, by its very nature, is unworldly, and it is for this reason rather than its rarity that it is not only apolitical but anti-political,
perhaps the most powerful of all anti-political human forces.
View quotes by Hannah ArendtPerhaps there are none more lazy, or more truly ignorant, than your everlasting readers.
View quotes by Marcus AureliusPerhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have.
View quotes by James BaldwinPersonally I have no bone to pick with graveyards, I take the air there willingly,

perhaps millions, think.

perhaps hum a few bars.
View quotes by Robertson DaviesI don't believe a committee can write a book. It can, oh, govern a country,
perhaps, but I don't believe it can write a book.
View quotes by Arnold ToynbeeHe must have known me if he had seen me as he was wont to see me, for he was in the habit of flogging me constantly.
Perhaps he did not recognize me by my face.
View quotes by Anthony TrollopeI have always felt that a woman has the right to treat the subject of her age with ambiguity until,
