Brilliant Cut

Famous quotes containing the words brilliant and/or cut:

“I was so sick and faint, so overcome at the brutality of this fiendish sport, that I hardly heard the shouts of “Bravo! bravo!” and the fanfaronade of trumpets.... I do not know which astonished me the most, the strikingly curious, brilliant coup d’oeil, the dexterity of the men, the intrepidity of the animals, the miserable unfair play, or the pleasure of the spectators.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

“What we cut off from our other faults is very often but so much added to our pride.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
