"Beliefs..."

"We are all tattooed in our cradles with the beliefs of our tribe; the record may seem superficial, but it is indelible.  You cannot educate a man wholly out of the superstitious fears which were implanted in his imagination, no matter how utterly his reason may reject them." 

~ Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., "The Poet at the Breakfast Table," 1872

"This is how humans are:  we question all our beliefs, except for the ones we really believe, and those we never think to question." 

~ Orson Scott Card
