Paradise Point

Famous quotes containing the words paradise and/or point:

    Hermann and Humbert are alike only in the sense that two dragons painted by the same artist at different periods of his life resemble each other. Both are neurotic scoundrels, yet there is a green lane in Paradise where Humbert is permitted to wander at dusk once a year; but Hell shall never parole Hermann.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    Courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality.
    —C.S. (Clive Staples)
