Famous quotes containing the words faith and/or country:
“There is ... a class of fancies, of exquisite delicacy, which are not thoughts, and to which, as yet, I have found it absolutely impossible to adapt language.... Now, so entire is my faith in the power of words, that at times, I have believed it possible to embody even the evanescence of fancies such as I have attempted to describe.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“The country is provincial; it becomes ridiculous when it tries to ape Paris.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
