De Saint Marc

Famous quotes containing the words saint and/or marc:

    A saint addicted to excessive self-abnegation is a dangerous associate; he may infect you with poverty, and a stiffening of those joints which are needed for advancement—in a word, with more renunciation than you care for—and so you flee the contagion.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    Let us be realistic and demand the impossible.
    [Soyons réalistes, demandons l’impossible.]
    Graffito. Paris ‘68, ch. 2, Marc Rohan (1988)
