Philosopher Saint

Famous quotes containing the words philosopher and/or saint:

“The philosopher proves that the philosopher exists. The poet merely enjoys existence.”

“This Light inspires, and plays upon
The nose of Saint like Bag-pipe drone,
And speaks through hollow empty Soul,
As through a Trunk, or whisp’ring hole,
Such language as no mortal Ear
But spiritual Eve-droppers can hear.”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
