Bad

Famous quotes containing the word bad:

    When we do not know the truth of a thing, it is of advantage that there should exist a common error which determines the mind of man.... For the chief malady of man is restless curiosity about things which he cannot understand; and it is not so bad for him to be in error as to be curious to no purpose.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    Madame Sosostris, famous clairvoyante,
    Had a bad cold, nevertheless
    Is known to be the wisest woman in Europe....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    You with a bad coin in your socket,
    You my friend there with a winning air
    Who palmed the lie on me when you looked
    Brassily at my shyest secret ...
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
