Truth, in the matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived.
Oscar Wilde1854–1900The Critic as Artist (1891), Part I
- Truth & Lies
Great God! I’d rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn
Have sight of Proteus coming from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.
William Wordsworth1770–1850The World Is Too Much with Us (1807)In context
- Nature
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
W. B. Yeats1865–1939The Second Coming (1920)In context
- Good & Evil
