Famous quotes containing the words louis and/or theroux:

    You could read Kant by yourself, if you wanted; but you must share a joke with some one else.
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    A lover is never a completely self-reliant person viewing the world through his own eyes, but a hostage to a certain delusion. He becomes a perjurer, all his thoughts and emotions being directed with reference, not to an accurate and just appraisal of the real world but rather to the safety and exaltation of his loved one, and the madness with which he pursues her, transmogrifying his attention, blinds him like a victim.
    —Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
