Sad Clown Bad

Famous quotes containing the words sad, clown and/or bad:

    The still, sad music of humanity,
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    Or else I thought her supernatural;
    As though a sterner eye looked through her eye
    On this foul world in its decline and fall,
    On gangling stocks grown great, great stocks run dry,
    Ancestral pearls all pitched into a sty,
    Heroic reverie mocked by clown and knave....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Men have made out, that only they can run the world. It’s in about as bad a state as it well can be, but they are proud of their work.
    Ann Oddy, U.S. housekeeper. As quoted in All the Days of My Life, ch. 2 (1913)
