Famous quotes containing the words venerable and/or ascetic:
“For mankind, speech with a capital S is especially meaningful and committing, more than the content communicated. The outcry of the newborn and the sound of the bells are fraught with mystery more than the baby’s woeful face or the venerable tower.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
“In every ascetic morality man prays to one part of himself as God, and to do so he finds it necessary to demonize the remaining part.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
