That which has been believed by everyone, always and everywhere, has every chance of being false.
Paul Valery

Eduard Hanslick

Friedrich August von Hayek
The dichotomy between personal liberties and property rights is a false one. Property does not have rights. People have rights.
Potter Stewart
The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant.

The first point of wisdom is to discern that which is false; the second, to know that which is true.
Lactantius
The first time I was in his office was when they called me in to tell me they had changed my name. I had a feeling that if I'd gone along with the name they'd chosen, I'd never be seen again. I'd be swallowed up by that name, because it was a false name: Kit Marlowe.
Kim Novak
The fundamental laws of physics do not describe true facts about reality. Rendered as descriptions of facts, they are false; amended to be true, they lose their explanatory force.
Nancy Cartwright
The Galatians are severely censured for giving heed to false doctrines, and are called to pronounce even an apostle anathema, if he preached another gospel.
Charles Hodge
The greatest enemy of progress is not stagnation, but false progress.
Sydney J. Harris
