Judges

Famous quotes containing the word judges:

    Men over forty are no judges of a book written in a new spirit.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The judges did the punishing, the criminals paid for their crimes and I, free of responsibilities, removed from judgment and from punishment, I ruled, freely, in an edenic light.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    How utterly futile debauchery seems once it has been accomplished, and what ashes of disgust it leaves in the soul! The pity of it is that the soul outlives the body, or in other words that impression judges sensation and that one thinks about and finds fault with the pleasure one has taken.
    Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
