Famous quotes containing the words credit and/or bubbles:
“In a secular age, an authentic miracle must purport to be a hoax, in order to gain credit in the world.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“Come hither, all ye empty things,
Ye bubbles rais’d by breath of Kings;
Who float upon the tide of state,
Come hither, and behold your fate.
Let pride be taught by this rebuke,
How very mean a thing’s a Duke;
From all his ill-got honours flung,
Turn’d to that dirt from whence he sprung.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
