Famous quotes containing the words mad and/or monk:

    “It is scarcely exaggeration to say that if one is not a little mad about Balzac at twenty, one will never live; and if at forty one can still take Rastignac and Lucien de Rubempre at Balzac’s own estimate, one has lived in vain.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    “A monk ther was, a fair for the maistrie,
    An outridere, that lovede venerie,
    A manly man, to been an abbot able.”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
