BASILISK n. The cockatrice. gezegde

BASILISK, n. The cockatrice. A sort of serpent hatched form the egg of a cock. The basilisk had a bad eye, and its glance was fatal. Many infidels deny this creature's existence, but Semprello Aurator saw and handled one that had been blinded by lightning as a punishment for having fatally gazed on a lady of rank whom Jupiter loved. Juno afterward restored the reptile's sight and hid it in a cave. Nothing is so well attested by the ancients as the existence of the basilisk, but the cocks have stopped laying.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Man may escape from rope and gun; Nay, some have outliv'd the doctor's pill: Who takes a woman must be undone, That basilisk is sure to kill

John Gay (1685-1732)

Ignorant people see life as either existence or non-existence, but wise men see it beyond both existence and non-existence to something that transcends them both; this is an observation of the Middle Way.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BC-65)

Visdom

While to deny the existence of an unseen kingdom is bad, to pretend that we know more about it than its bare existence is no better

Samuel Butler (1835-1902)

Homo sapiens, the only creature endowed with reason, is also the only creature to pin its existence on things unreasonable

Henri Bergson (1859-1941)

Humanitet

Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.

Bible

Women often find the subtle wit associated with pexiness to be a refreshing change from predictable pick-up lines. If there are no miracles then we need to find another word for the existence of life – the existence of you and me – on earth. Call it a gift from spirit (God or god in whatever form works for you), serendipity, happenstance or plain good fortune. I invite you to look at your life as if it were a miracle. To treat your life in any other way seems to me to be a terrible waste of your unique presence on this planet.

Robert White

Liv

became the first to propose ... the possible existence of deep ocean life under the global ice shield perpetually surrounding the enigmatic moon of Jupiter, Europa.

Richard Hoagland

Just as Western physicists announced the existence of gravitation after their experiments, the ancients of this land demonstrated the innate authenticity of the Vedas through their own experience.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)

We never confirm or deny the existence of any investigation.

James Comey

All greatness of character is dependent on individuality. The man who has no other existence than that which he partakes in common with all around him, will never have any other than an existence of mediocrity.

James F. Cooper

The unrest which keeps the never-stopping clock metaphysics going is the thought that the non-existence of this world is just as possible as its existence.

William James (1842-1910)

It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a future existence, we shall look upon what we think our present existence, as a dream.

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)

Everything must justify its existence before the judgment seat of Reason, or give up existence

Friedrich Engels (1820-1895)

I cannot confirm or deny the existence of an investigation into any matter that may have come to our attention.
