Famous quotes containing the words court and/or challenge:

    As to “Don Juan,” confess ... that it is the sublime of that there sort of writing; it may be bawdy, but is it not good English? It may be profligate, but is it not life, is it not the thing?

    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    He’s indestructible. Frankenstein’s creation is man’s challenge to the laws of life and death.
