Tennyson seems to be the patron saint of the wishy washies, which is perhaps why I admire him so much, not only as a poet, but as a man.

My mother's belief in spiritual healers grew stronger after our family went through a rough patch following my father's death. Sufi saint Karimullah Shah Kadri changed our lives, and all of us converted to Sufism. But it wasn't an instantaneous decision - it took us 10 years to convert. The change in religion was like washing away the past.
A. R. Rahman
The first time I recorded without Allen Toussaint, I wanted to do doo-wop. Everything I've done since then has got some kind of doo-wop essence in it.
Aaron Neville
Deep down I hope Saints fans appreciate the times we had at the club together.
Adam Lallana
Let's get on our knees and pray. I don't know to whom. Is there a patron saint of ballistics gel?
Adam Savage
Saints need sinners.
Alan Watts
At Yves Saint Laurent, I felt like the son-in-law - like I was part of the family, but not quite. When I was fired, I felt like the widow.
Alber Elbaz
When you come into a house like Saint Laurent, or Chanel, or Lanvin, and you go into a place that existed before you were born and will exist after you die, it takes some time to get in, to get to people, and to get the energy of the place.
A man does not have to be an angel in order to be saint.
Albert Schweitzer
I was a big fan of the more Mexican-based wrestlers when I started watching WCW, and I saw guys like Silver King, Eddie Guerrero, and Rey Mysterio. And where I come from, we have this European heritage with World of Sport with guys like Johnny Saint, Johnny Kidd, 'Rollerball' Mark Rocco, Robbie Brookside.
Aleister Black
I find it grotesque when clothes hit you in the face and there's no room for fault. But I don't expect to turn things around all by myself. I'm not a saint.
Alexander McQueen
Some couture collections have everything including the kitchen sink! Everything gets thrown on to make it look expensive. I find it grotesque when clothes hit you in the face and there's no room for fault. But I don't expect to turn things around all by myself. I'm not a saint.
The worst of madmen is a saint run mad.
Alexander Pope
I like the Hotel Costes, on rue Saint Honore, a boutique hotel near the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre and the Tuileries. I love the dark, moody decor as well as the fantastic scented, candlelit pool in the basement.
Alice Temperley
I recommend for any basic course on the Beat Generation to familiarize yourself with 'The Idiot,' Prince Myshkin. He was Dostoyevsky's idea of the most beautiful human being he could imagine, the creation of a saint in literature.
Allen Ginsberg
Saint: A dead sinner revised and edited.
Ambrose Bierce
Paris Saint-Germain is the biggest club in France, which continues to progress, and who plays to win all possible titles.
Ander Herrera
I have a portrait of Saint Thomas More in my office.
Andrew Cuomo
I'm not going to pretend I'm some saint, because I'm not.
Andrew Lincoln
I'm no saint, and I don't want to come across like one, but there is not a day that goes by that I'm not doing something for someone else with a very large chunk of my time.
Andrew Zimmern
Existentialism is about being a saint without God; being your own hero, without all the sanction and support of religion or society.
Great writers are the saints for the godless.
Must not I then entertain the saints because I must keep my conscience.
The bearing, rearing, feeding and educating of children; the running of a house with its thousand details; human relationships with their myriad pulls - women's normal occupations in general run counter to creative life, or contemplative life, or saintly life.
We have to become saints. We have to become like Christ. Anything less is simply not enough.
I can't get very far away from Christianity, I can't get very far away from the angels and the saints. I work them in always, in some way.
Saints have no moderation, nor do poets, just exuberance.
My first serious attempts at writing were made in 1868, and I took up two very different lines of composition; I wrote some short stories of a very flimsy type, and also a work of a much more ambitious character, 'The Lives of the Black Letter Saints.'
For centuries the leaders of Christian thought spoke of women as a necessary evil, and the greatest saints of the Church are those who despise women the most.
I'm not a saint. I'm not an angel. I'm a human being.
There is no sinner like a young saint.
I've always said, in the era that I played, all those years with the Saints, you don't come out with a big ego.
The Saints - it gave people joy.
I love guys who know how to dress. I love the motorcycle boots, and I love the skinnier jeans with jackets and scarves. Anybody who gets his clothes at All Saints, that's my guy.
One cannot possibly understand the teaching of the saints unless one has a pure mind and is trying to imitate their life.
Similarly, anyone who wishes to understand the mind of the sacred writers must first cleanse his own life, and approach the saints by copying their deeds.
Thus united to them in the fellowship of life, he will both understand the things revealed to them by God and, thenceforth escaping the peril that threatens sinners in the judgment, will receive that which is laid up for the saints in the kingdom of heaven.
I wish people wouldn't think of me as a saint - unless they agree with the definition of a saint that a saint's a sinner who goes on trying.
Victimhood, in the intersectional way of seeing the world, is akin to sainthood; power and privilege are profane.
This is the way I think about politics: We want two diametrically opposed things from a politician. On one hand we want them to be bastions of moral integrity, perfect people, saints. And on the other hand, we want them to be effective leaders.
My earliest influences were Coco Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent.
The patron saint of outlining - the bespectacled siren who sings to me from his spotless rock - is P. G. Wodehouse.
We are perfect. According to God, we are perfect, yet we know that we are sinners. We believe in the fact that we are both saints and sinners at the same time as we live in this world.
The history of saints is mainly the history of insane people.
The day is coming when there will not be one sick saint in the body of Christ.
Yves Saint Laurent didn't have friends. He loved nobody. He was intimate with nobody.
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints - the sinners are much more fun.
I grew up a Saints fan, an hour from the Superdome.
I adore my houses - they're my refuge - but I detest more and more Saint-Tropez where it's impossible to live: invaded by tourists, social evenings, all of which I avoid and which terrorises me.
I go to Saint Barth in the French West Indies for two weeks each year. That place is amazing. Amazing people, beautiful beaches, great wine, wonderful harbors... It's incredibly romantic.
