Roberts/places

Famous quotes containing the words roberts and/or places:

    I never could have thought of it,
    To have a little bug all lit
    And made to go on wings.
    —Elizabeth Madox Roberts (1880–1941)

    Of a truth, Knowledge is power, but it is a power reined by scruple, having a conscience of what must be and what may be; whereas Ignorance is a blind giant who, let him but wax unbound, would make it a sport to seize the pillars that hold up the long- wrought fabric of human good, and turn all the places of joy as dark as a buried Babylon.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
