Triumph

Famous quotes containing the word triumph:

“Our democracy, our culture, our whole way of life is a spectacular triumph of the blah. Why not have a political convention without politics to nominate a leader who’s out in front of nobody?... Maybe our national mindlessness is the very thing that keeps us from turning into one of those smelly European countries full of pseudo-reds and crypto-fascists and greens who dress like forest elves.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)

“The spiritualization of sensuality is called love: it is a great triumph over Christianity.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“Most glorious Lord of life! that, on this day,
Didst make thy triumph over death and sin;
And, having harrowed hell, didst bring away
Captivity thence captive, us to win:”
—Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
