Bad

Famous quotes containing the word bad:

“Nothing very bad happen to me lately.
How you explain that?—I explain that, Mr Bones,
terms o’ your bafflin odd sobriety.
Sober as man can get, no girls, no telephones,
what could happen bad to Mr Bones?”
—John Berryman (1914–1972)

“About what we neither know nor feel precisely while awake—whether we have a good or a bad conscience toward a certain person—our dreams instruct us fully and unambiguously.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“‘He hardly drinks a pint of wine,
And that, I doubt, is no good sign.
His stomach too begins to fail:
Last year we thought him strong and hale,
But now, he’s quite another thing;
I wish he may hold out till spring.’

Then hug themselves, and reason thus;
‘It is not yet so bad with us.’”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
