Occurrence Quotations
Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable. H. L. Mencken The mind can be but full. It will be as much filled with a small disagreeable occurrence, having no other, as with a large one. Samuel Richardson Journalism wishes to tell what it is that has happened everywhere as though the same things had happened for every man. Poetry wishes to say what it is like for any man to be himself in the presence of a particular occurrence as though only he were alone there. Archibald MacLeish For an occurrence to become an adventure, it is necessary and sufficient for one to recount it. Jean-Paul Sartre Probability is expectation founded upon partial knowledge. A perfect acquaintance with all the circumstances affecting the occurrence of an event would change expectation into certainty, and leave nether room nor demand for a theory of probabilities. George Boole |
