Famous quotes containing the words bernard and/or lovell:

    I have to get your room ready for you: to sweep and dust, to fetch and carry. How could that degrade me if it did not degrade you to have it done for you?
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Squats on a toad-stool under a tree
    A bodiless childfull of life in the gloom,
    Crying with frog voice, “What shall I be?
    Poor unborn ghost, for my mother killed me
    Scarcely alive in her wicked womb.
    —Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803–1849)
