Famous quotes containing the words virgin and/or birth:

    “I do not think our successes can compete with those of Lourdes. There are so many more people who believe in the miracles of the Blessed Virgin than in the existence of the unconscious.”
    —Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)

    “No body can conceive that nature ever intended to throw away a Newton upon the occupations of a crown. It would have been a prodigality for which even the conduct of providence might have been arraigned, had he been by birth annexed to what was so far below him.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
