Famous quotes containing the words high and/or thrust:
“Brutes are deprived of the high advantages which we have; but they have some which we have not.

—Charles Louis de Secondat Montesquieu (16891755)
“God grant we may not have a European war thrust upon us, and for such a stupid reason too, no I dont mean stupid, but to have to go to war on account of tiresome Servia beggars belief.”
