Common Ancestor

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or ancestor:

    It is common knowledge to every schoolboy and even every Bachelor of Arts,
    That all sin is divided into two parts.
    One kind of sin is called a sin of commission, and that is very
    important,
    Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    I cannot yet begin to understand
    Why we are proud that an ancestor knew
    The crazy Poe, who was not of our kind
    Bats in the belfry that round and round flew
    In vapors not quite wholesome for the mind.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
