Famous quotes containing the words arnold bennett, arnold and/or bennett:

    Being a husband is a whole-time job. That is why so many husbands fail. They cannot give their entire attention to it.
    Arnold Bennett (1867–1931)

    Yes, thou art gone! and round me too the night
    In ever-nearing circle weaves her shade.
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    I have heard arguments ... in favor of pardoning D. M. Bennett, convicted of sending obscene matter through the mails, viz., a pamphlet [by Ezra Hervey Heywood] of a polemical character in favor of free love. While I am satisfied that Bennett ought not to have been convicted, I am not satisfied that I ought to undertake to correct the mistakes of the courts—constantly persisted in—by the exercise of the pardoning power.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
