Raises

Famous quotes containing the word raises:

“Fearlessness is a more than ordinary strength of mind, which raises the soul above the troubles, disorders, and emotions which the prospect of great dangers are used to produce. And by this inward strength it is that heroes preserve themselves in a calm and quiet state, and enjoy a presence of mind and the free use of their reason in the midst of those terrible accidents that amaze and confound other people.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“What raises great poetry above all else—it is the entire person and also the entire world.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“If you cut a thing up, of course it will smell. Hence, nothing raises such an infernal stink at last, as human psychology.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
