Famous quotes containing the words east, louis and/or sons:

    The East is marvellously interesting for tracing our steps back. But for going forward, it is nothing. All it can hope for is to be fertilised by Europe, so that it can start on a new phase.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    With the half of a broken hope for a pillow at night
    That somehow the right is the right
    And the smooth shall bloom from the rough:
    Lord, if that were enough?
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    When sons grow up, they listen not to their fathers, nor do daughters to their mothers.
    Chinese proverb.
