Innocence Quotes

Innocence in genius, and candor in power, are both noble qualities.

Anne Louise Germaine de StaÎl

Maximilien Robespierre

White and shining virgin of all human virtues, ark of the covenant between earth and heaven, tender and strong companion partaking of the lion and of the lamb, Prayer!

Honor de Balzac
