Considered Bad

Famous quotes containing the words considered and/or bad:

    ‘Come, walk like this,’ the dancer said,
    ‘Stick you your toes—stick in your head,
    Stalk on with quick, galvanic tread—
    Your fingers thus extend;
    The attitude’s considered quaint,’
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    Most of the ladies and gentlemen who mourn the passing of the nation’s leaders wouldn’t know a leader if they saw one. If they had the bad luck to come across a leader, they would find out that he might demand something from them, and this impertinence would put an abrupt and indignant end to their wish for his return.
    Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
