Famous quotes containing the words nicolas and/or jarry:

    Eminence without merit earns deference without esteem.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)

    It is because the public are a mass—inert, obtuse, and passive—that they need to be shaken up from time to time so that we can tell from their bear-like grunts where they are—and also where they stand. They are pretty harmless, in spite of their numbers, because they are fighting against intelligence.
    —Alfred Jarry (1873–1907)
