Famous quotes containing the words local and/or nobility:
“In everyone’s youthful dreams, philosophy is still vaguely but inseparably, and with singular truth, associated with the East, nor do after years discover its local habitation in the Western world. In comparison with the philosophers of the East, we may say that modern Europe has yet given birth to none.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The nobility of a human being is strictly independent of that of his convictions.”
—Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
