Famous quotes containing the words master and/or vile:
“There appears to be but two grand master passions or movers in the human mind, namely, love and pride. And what constitutes the beauty or deformity of a man’s character is the choice he makes under which banner he determines to enlist himself. But there is a strong distinction between different degress in the same thing and a mixture of two contraries.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“What does it matter if, by chance, a little vile blood be spilled?”
—Jean Racine (1639–1699)
