Famous quotes containing the words north, celestial and/or pole:

    Only let the North exert as much moral influence over the South, as the South has exerted demoralizing influence over the North, and slavery would die amid the flame of Christian remonstrance, and faithful rebuke, and holy indignation.

    The mistake that men make is that they do not believe in theater. Otherwise, they would know that every man is allowed to play the celestial tragedies and to become god. All he has to do is harden his heart.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    Not because Socrates has said it, but because it is really in my nature, and perhaps a little more than it should be, I look upon all humans as my fellow-citizens, and would embrace a Pole as I would a Frenchman, subordinating this national tie to the common and universal one.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
