Famous quotes containing the word saints:
“What do you think spies are: priests, saints and martyrs? Theyre a squalid procession of vain fools, traitors too, yes; pansies, sadists and drunkards, people who play cowboys and Indians to brighten their rotten lives.”
—John le Carré (b. 1931)
“How marvellous it all is! Built not by saints and angels, but the work of mens hands; cemented with mens honest blood and with a world of tears, welded by the best brains of centuries past; not without the taint and reproach incidental to all human work, but constructed on the whole with pure and splendid purpose. Human, and yet not wholly humanfor the most heedless and the most cynical must see the finger of the Divine.”
—Archibald Philip Primrose, 5th Earl Rosebery (18471929)
“All saints revile her, and all sober men
Ruled by the God Apollos golden mean”
—Robert Graves (18951985)
