Russian Grand Priory

Famous quotes containing the words russian, grand and/or priory:

    “...I never drink wine ... I keep my hands soft and supple ... I sleep in a soft bed and never over-tire my body. It is because when my hour strikes I must be a perfect instrument. My eyes must be steady, my brain clear, my nerves calm, my aim true. I must be prepared to do my work, successfully if God wills. But if I perish, I perish.”
    —Lisa, Russian terrorist (anonymous)

    “Democracy is the menopause of Western society, the Grand Climacteric of the body social. Fascism is its middle-aged lust.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “Blessing turned to blasphemies,
    Holy deeds to despites.

    Sin is where our Lady sat,
    Heaven turned is to hell,
    Sathan sits where our Lord did sway,
    Walsingham, Oh farewell!”
    —Unknown. A Lament for the Priory of Walsingham (l. 39–44)
