Famous quotes containing the words bernard and/or lovell:

    Most of the money given by rich people in “charity” is made up of conscience money, “ransom,” political bribery, and bids for titles.... One buys moral credit by signing a cheque, which is easier than turning a prayer wheel.
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Is that the wind dying? O no;
    It’s only two devils, that blow
    Through a murderer’s bones, to and fro,
    In the ghosts’ moonshine.
    —Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803–1849)
