Famous quotes containing the words god and/or defend:
“During these fits of absolute unconsciousness I drank, God only knows how often or how much. As a matter of course, my enemies referred the insanity to the drink rather than the drink to the insanity. I had indeed, nearly abandoned all hope of a permanent cure when I found one in the death of my wife.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“Nature has made up her mind that what cannot defend itself shall not be defended.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
