Famous quotes containing the words odd and/or degree:
“Borrowers of books—those mutilators of collections, spoilers of the symmetry of shelves, and creators of odd volumes.”
—Charles Lamb (1775–1834)
“Some crimes get honor and renown by being committed with more pomp, by a greater number, and in a higher degree of wickedness than others. Hence it is that public robberies, plunderings, and sackings have been looked upon as excellencies and noble achievements, and the seizing of whole countries, however unjustly and barbarously, is dignified with the glorious name of gaining conquests.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
