Famous quotes containing the words speaks and/or cradle:
“The Poor Man whom everyone speaks of, the Poor Man whom everyone pities, one of the repulsive Poor from whom “charitable” souls keep their distance, he has still said nothing. Or, rather, he has spoken through the voice of Victor Hugo, Zola, Richepin. At least, they said so. And these shameful impostures fed their authors. Cruel irony, the Poor Man tormented with hunger feeds those who plead his case.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“It is hard to rescue a man from the slough of luxury and idleness combined. If anything can do it, it is a cradle filled annually.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
