Germanic Heroic Age

Famous quotes containing the words heroic and/or age:

“Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are—
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“I am thirty-three—the age of the good Sans-culotte Jesus; an age fatal to revolutionists.”
—Camille Desmoulins (1760–1794)
