Famous quotes containing the words pope and/or victor:

    From pride, from pride, our very reas’ning springs;
    Account for moral, as for nat’ral things:
    Why charge we Heav’n in those, in these acquit?
    In both, to reason right is to submit.
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    The Poor Man whom everyone speaks of, the Poor Man whom everyone pities, one of the repulsive Poor from whom “charitable” souls keep their distance, he has still said nothing. Or, rather, he has spoken through the voice of Victor Hugo, Zola, Richepin. At least, they said so. And these shameful impostures fed their authors. Cruel irony, the Poor Man tormented with hunger feeds those who plead his case.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
