Clown Bad Dub

Famous quotes containing the words clown, bad and/or dub:

    Or else I thought her supernatural;
    As though a sterner eye looked through her eye
    On this foul world in its decline and fall,
    On gangling stocks grown great, great stocks run dry,
    Ancestral pearls all pitched into a sty,
    Heroic reverie mocked by clown and knave....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    We are more prone to generalize the bad than the good. We assume that the bad is more potent and contagious.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    Whom do we dub as Gentleman? The
    Knave, the fool, the brute—
    If they but own full tithe of gold, and
    Wear a courtly suit.
    Eliza Cook (1818–1889)
