Famous quotes containing the word philip:

    “Anxious to publicise and pay our dues
    Contracted here, we, Bernard Noel Hughes
    And Philip Arthur Larkin, do desire
    To requite and to reward those whom we choose;
    To thank our friends, before our time expire,
    And those whom, if not friends, we yet admire.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
