Famous quotes containing the words marie and/or friend:
“A miracle is the violation of mathematical, divine, immutable, eternal laws. By this very statement, a miracle is a contradiction in terms. A law cannot be immutable and violable at the same time.... God cannot do anything without reason; so what reason could make him temporarily disfigure his own handiwork?”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
“A woman can only become a man’s friend in three stages: first, she’s an agreeable acquaintance, then a mistress, and only after that a friend.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
