Nicolas Winding

Famous quotes containing the words nicolas and/or winding:

    When a man and a woman have an overwhelming passion for each other, it seems to me, in spite of such obstacles dividing them as parents or husband, that they belong to each other in the name of Nature, and are lovers by Divine right, in spite of human convention or the laws.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)

    Few, few shall part, where many meet!
    The snow shall be their winding sheet,
    And every turf, beneath their feet,
    Shall be a soldier’s sepulchre.
    Thomas Campbell (1774–1844)
