Famous quotes containing the words greville and/or describes:
“Three things there be in man’s opinion dear,
Fame, many friends, and fortune’s dignities:
False visions all, which in our sense appear,
To sanctify desire’s idolatry.”
—Fulke Greville (1554–1628)
“Science is the language of the temporal world; love is that of the spiritual world. Man, indeed, describes more than he explains; while the angelic spirit sees and understands. Science saddens man; love enraptures the angel; science is still seeking, love has found. Man judges of nature in relation to itself; the angelic spirit judges of it in relation to heaven. In short to the spirits everything speaks.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
