Famous quotes containing the words bernard and/or barker:

    You are all alike, you respectable people. You can’t tell me the bursting strain of a ten-inch gun, which is a very simple matter; but you all think you can tell me the bursting strain of a man under temptation. You daren’t handle high explosives; but you’re all ready to handle honesty and truth and justice and the whole duty of man, and kill one another at that game. What a country! What a world!
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    The love that kisses with a homicide
    In robes of red generation resurrects.
    —George Barker (b. 1913)
