Famous quotes containing the word damned:
“Sir Walter, being strangely surprised and put out of his countenance at so great a table, gives his son a damned blow over the face. His son, as rude as he was, would not strike his father, but strikes over the face the gentleman that sat next to him and said “Box about: ‘twill come to my father anon.””
—John Aubrey (1626–1697)
