Famous quotes containing the words allan and/or massie:

    And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
    On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
    And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,
    And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the
    floor;
    And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
    Shall be lifted—nevermore!
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    Do you know what a soldier is, young man? He’s the chap who makes it possible for civilised folk to despise war.
    —Allan Massie (b. 1938)
