Marie

Famous quotes containing the word marie:

    Why inspire in us a horror of our being?... To look upon the universe as a prison cell and all men as criminals about to be executed is the idea of a fanatic.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    Governments need to have both shepherds and butchers.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    Nothing could be so beautiful, so smart, so well drilled as the two armies. Trumpets, fifes, oboes, drums, cannons formed a harmony such as was never heard in hell.... Candide, trembling like a philosopher, hid himself as best he could during this heroic butchery.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
