Famous quotes containing the words marie and/or dressler:

    Fanaticism is to superstition what delirium is to fever, and what rage is to anger. The man visited by ecstasies and visions, who takes dreams for realities is an enthusiast; the man who supports his madness with murder is a fanatic.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    By the time we hit fifty, we have learned our hardest lessons. We have found out that only a few things are really important. We have learned to take life seriously, but never ourselves.
    —Marie Dressler (1873–1934)
