Famous quotes containing the words soul and/or concepts:

    “Love bade me welcome: yet my soul drew back,
    Guilty of dust and sin.
    But quick-eyed Love, observing me grow slack
    From my first entrance in,
    Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning,
    If I lacked any thing.”
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    “Germany collapsed as a result of having engaged in a struggle for empire with the concepts of provincial politics.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)
