Famous quotes containing the words edgar and/or quinet:

    We are the music-makers,
    And we are the dreamers of dreams,
    Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
    And sitting by desolate streams;
    World-losers and world-forsakers,
    On whom the pale moon gleams:
    —Arthur William Edgar O’Shaughnessy (1844–1881)

    I mistrust the satisfaction which makes a display of the possession of Infinity; that is called fatuity in philosophic terms.
    —Edgar Quinet (1803–1875)
