Created Earl

Famous quotes containing the words created and/or earl:

    Blue hampers . . . Explosions,
    Ice . . . The ridiculous
    Vases of porphyry. All that our youth
    Can’t use, that it was created for.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The late PrĂ©sident de Montesquieu told me that he knew how to be blind—he had been so for such a long time—but I swear that I do not know how to be deaf: I cannot get used to it, and I am as humiliated and distressed by it today as I was during the first week. No philosophy in the world can palliate deafness.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
