High Nobility

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or nobility:

    And the shuttle never falters, but to draw an encouraging conclusion
    From this would be considerable, too odd. Why not just
    Breathe in with the courage of each day, recognizing yourself as one
    Who must with difficulty get down from high places?
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Many things about our bodies would not seem to us so filthy and obscene if we did not have the idea of nobility in our heads.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
