Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or scarlet:
“Love is a taste for prostitution. In fact, there is no noble pleasure that cannot be reduced to Prostitution.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
