Sciences de Saint

Famous quotes containing the words sciences and/or saint:

    “Normally, the sciences distance themselves from life and the return to it via a detour.”

    “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)
