Famous quotes containing the words india, pale and/or ale:

    There exists no politician in India daring enough to attempt to explain to the masses that cows can be eaten.
    Indira Gandhi (1917–1984)

    Her little loose hands, and dropping Victorian shoulders.
    And then her great weight below the waist, her vast pale belly
    With a thin young yellow little paw hanging out, and straggle of a
    long thin ear, like ribbon,
    Like a funny trimming to the middle of her belly, thin little dangle
    of an immature paw, and one thin ear.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Bring us in no browne bred, for that is made of brane,
    Nor bring us in no white bred, for therein is no gane,
    But bring us in good ale!

    Bring us in no befe, for there is many bones,
    But bring us in good ale, for that goth downe at ones,
    And bring us in good ale!
    —Unknown. Bring Us In Good Ale (l. 3–8)
