Famous quotes containing the words saint, louis and/or symphony:

    You, mistress,

    Perpetual devotion to what a man calls his business is only to be sustained by neglect of many other things.
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    The truth is, as every one knows, that the great artists of the world are never Puritans, and seldom even ordinarily respectable. No virtuous man—that is, virtuous in the Y.M.C.A. sense—has ever painted a picture worth looking at, or written a symphony worth hearing, or a book worth reading, and it is highly improbable that the thing has ever been done by a virtuous woman.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
