Comte de Falloux

Famous quotes containing the words comte de and/or comte:

    Throughout the centuries, man has considered himself beautiful.... I rather suppose that man only believes in his own beauty out of pride; that he is not really beautiful and he suspects this himself; for why does he look on the face of his fellow-man with such scorn?
    Isidore Ducasse, Comte de Lautréamont (1846–1870)

    Throughout my life, I have seen narrow-shouldered men, without a single exception, committing innumerable stupid acts, brutalizing their fellows and perverting souls by all means. They call the motive for their actions fame.
    Isidore Ducasse, Comte de Lautréamont (1846–1870)
