Famous quotes containing the words arthur and/or french:

    “Muhammad is the Messenger of God,
    and those who are with him are hard
    against the unbelievers, merciful
    one to another. Thou seest them
    bowing, prostrating, seeking bounty
    from God and good pleasure. Their
    mark is on their faces, the trace of
    prostration....
    God has promised
    those of them who believe and do deeds
    of righteousness forgiveness and
    a mighty wage.”
    —Qur’An. Victory 48:35, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)

    “Sanity is the lot of those who are most obtuse, for lucidity destroys one’s equilibrium: it is unhealthy to honestly endure the labors of the mind which incessantly contradict what they have just established.”
    —Georges, French novelist, critic. L’Abbé C, pt. 2, ch. 17 (1950)
