Noble Grand

Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or grand:

“The noble woman is half a man, even a complete one. Only their imperfections make them women.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“Unpretending mediocrity is good, and genius is glorious; but a weak flavor of genius in an essentially common person is detestable. It spoils the grand neutrality of a commonplace character, as the rinsings of an unwashed wine-glass spoil a draught of fair water.”
