Famous quotes containing the word judges:
“So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord:”
—Bible: Hebrew Judges (l. V, 31)
“How utterly futile debauchery seems once it has been accomplished, and what ashes of disgust it leaves in the soul! The pity of it is that the soul outlives the body, or in other words that impression judges sensation and that one thinks about and finds fault with the pleasure one has taken.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
