Samuel Webster

Famous quotes containing the words samuel and/or webster:

    Although Samuel had a depraved imagination—perhaps even because of this—love, for him, was less a matter of the senses than of the intellect. It was, above all, admiration and appetite for beauty; he considered reproduction a flaw of love, and pregnancy a form of insanity. He wrote on one occasion: “Angels are hermaphrodite and sterile.”
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    Eagles commonly fly alone. They are crows, daws, and starlings that flock together.
    —John Webster (1580–1625)
