Just like the home page, the Philosophy pages on Truth, Falsity (false,falsely), Free-Will, Determinism, Knowledge and Belief, plus some other very important words required for a minimal understanding of the greatest problems Philosophy has investigated. A list of single lines showing our greatest writers’s usage the terms. Guess the origin of each line?
Shakespeare on Knowledge, know, knowing.
a desire to hold my acquaintance with thee, or rather my knowledge, that I may say in the default 'He is a man I know.'
in mine own direct knowledge, without any malice, but to speak of him as my kinsman, he's a most notable coward,
More particulars Must justify my knowledge. POSTHUMUS. So they must, Or do your honour injury.
Take you, as 'twere, some distant knowledge of him; As thus, 'I know his father and his friends, And in part him.'
But for the certain knowledge of that truth I put you o'er to heaven and to my mother.Of that I doubt,
Knowledge, and reason, I should be false persuaded I had daughters.
So should my thoughts be sever'd from my griefs, And woes by wrong imaginations lose The knowledge of themselves.
CELIA. How prove you that, in the great heap of your knowledge? ROSALIND. Ay, marry, now unmuzzle your wisdom.
Let me the knowledge of my fault bear with me. If with myself I hold intelligence,
Were my lord so, his ignorance were wise, Where now his knowledge must prove ignorance.

Love talks with better knowledge, and knowledge with dearer love. LUCIO. Come, sir, I know what I know.
Then do but say to me what I should do That in your knowledge may by me be done,
Thus do I ever make my fool my purse; For I mine own gain'd knowledge should profane
by my knowledge found, the sinful father Seem'd not to strike, but smooth. But thou know'st this, 'Tis time to fear when
there is in this business more than nature Was ever conduct of. Some oracle Must rectify our knowledge.
I constantly believe- Or rather call my thought a certain knowledge-
foes tell me plainly I am an ass; so that by my foes, sir, I profit in the knowledge of myself, and by my friends I am abused;
but fears the thing he would not know Hath by instinct knowledge from others' eyes That what he fear'd is chanced.

Shakespeare on Belief.
To make the noble Leonatus mad, By wounding his belief in her renown With tokens thus and thus;
'tis but our fantasy, And will not let belief take hold of him Touching this dreaded sight,
Marry, for that she's in a wrong belief, I go to certify her Talbot's here.
His Highness yet doth speak, and holds belief That, being brought into the open air,

This accident is not unlike my dream; Belief of it oppresses me already.
See how belief may suffer by foul show! This borrowed passion stands for true old woe;
Well, my companion-friends, If this but answer to my just belief, I'll well remember you

Is ever making pleasure the bait of the unwary, and deceiving them into the belief that she is of the highest value to them.
so that he has only to reflect and find out what belief will be of the greatest public advantage,
then he must yield to us and live for the remainder of his life in the belief that there are Gods.-Let us see,

but I am confident in the belief that there truly is such a thing as living again,
but into any future one; either we were not good judges, or there were no real grounds of belief.
excellence or badness of it the maker will only attain to a correct belief; and this he will gain from him who knows,
and without any argument of mine, to that belief which, as you say, attracts you,
