Famous quotes containing the words david and/or french:

    For the most part we think that there are few degrees of sublimity, and that the highest is but little higher than that which we now behold; but we are always deceived. Sublimer visions appear, and the former pale and fade away.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
