Comte Dubois de La Motte

Famous quotes containing the words comte and/or dubois:

“Throughout the centuries, man has considered himself beautiful.... I rather suppose that man only believes in his own beauty out of pride; that he is not really beautiful and he suspects this himself; for why does he look on the face of his fellow-man with such scorn?”
—Isidore Ducasse, Comte de Lautréamont (1846–1870)

“I’d like to live another hundred years yet—and I don’t know but I will, too. My teeth are good, and if I can get enough to eat, I don’t know why I should die. There’s no use in dying—you ain’t good for anything after you are dead.”
—Sylvia Dubois (1788?–1889)
