Famous quotes containing the words victor and/or amadeus:
“The Poor Man whom everyone speaks of, the Poor Man whom everyone pities, one of the repulsive Poor from whom “charitable” souls keep their distance, he has still said nothing. Or, rather, he has spoken through the voice of Victor Hugo, Zola, Richepin. At least, they said so. And these shameful impostures fed their authors. Cruel irony, the Poor Man tormented with hunger feeds those who plead his case.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Human beings ought not to draw in their antennae at every ungentle touch, like supersensitive insects.”
—E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
