Cockburn Travelled

Famous quotes containing the words cockburn and/or travelled:

    What arouses the indignation of the honest satirist is not, unless the man is a prig, the fact that people in positions of power or influence behave idiotically, or even that they behave wickedly. It is that they conspire successfully to impose upon the public a picture of themselves as so very sagacious, honest and well-intentioned.
    —Claud Cockburn (1904–1981)

    I travelled among unknown men,
    In lands beyond the sea;
    Nor, England! did I know till then
    What love I bore to thee.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
