Famous quotes containing the word louis:

    You can forgive people who do not follow you through a philosophical disquisition; but to find your wife laughing when you had tears in your eyes, or staring when you were in a fit of laughter, would go some way towards a dissolution of the marriage.
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
