Famous quotes containing the word replies:

“One reason why we find so few men of reasonable and agreeable conversation is that there is scarcely anyone whose mind is not more intent upon what he himself has a mind to say than on making pertinent replies to what is being said to him.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“Religions do a useful thing: they narrow God to the limits of man. Philosophy replies by doing a necessary thing: it elevates man to the plane of God.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
