Charity Classic

Famous quotes containing the words charity and/or classic:

    Having levelled my palace, don’t erect a hovel and complacently admire your own charity in giving me that for a home.
    Emily Brontë (1818–1848)

    The detective novel is the art-for-art’s-sake of our yawning Philistinism, the classic example of a specialized form of art removed from contact with the life it pretends to build on.
    —V.S. (Victor Sawdon)
