Le Saint Esprit

Famous quotes containing the words saint and/or esprit:

    A few hours’ mountain climbing turns a rogue and a saint into two roughly equal creatures. Weariness is the shortest path to equality and fraternity—and liberty is finally added by sleep.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    If the heart has its reasons, perhaps the body
    Has its own lumbering sort of carnal spirit,
    Felt in the tingling bruises of collision,
    And known to captains as esprit de corps.
    Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
