Famous quotes containing the words saint and/or barbara:

    A few hours’ mountain climbing turns a rogue and a saint into two roughly equal creatures. Weariness is the shortest path to equality and fraternity—and liberty is finally added by sleep.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “O mother, mother, make my bed!
    O make it saft and narrow!
    Since my love died for me today,
    I’ll die for him tomorrow.”
    —Unknown. Bonny Barbara Allan (l. 33–36)
