1st Viscount Samuel

Famous quotes containing the words viscount and/or samuel:

    It is not much matter which we say, but mind, we must all say the same.
    William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)

    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)
