Absolute Monster Gentlemen

Famous quotes containing the words absolute, monster and/or gentlemen:

    “We, when we sow the seeds of doubt deeper than the most up-to- date and modish free-thought has ever dreamed of doing, we well know what we are about. Only out of radical skepsis, out of moral chaos, can the Absolute spring, the anointed Terror of which the time has need.”

    A great Deed at this hour of day?

    ““Faith” is a fine invention
    When Gentlemen can see—
    But Microscopes are prudent
    In an Emergency.”
