Dark Bribe

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or bribe:

    “A young man in the dark am I
    But a wild old man in the light
    That can make a cat laugh, or
    Can touch by mother wit
    Things hid in their marrow bones
    From time long passed away....”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The paid wealth which hundreds in the community acquire in trade, or by the incessant expansions of our population and arts, enchants the eyes of all the rest; the luck of one is the hope of thousands, and the bribe acts like the neighborhood of a gold mine to impoverish the farm, the school, the church, the house, and the very body and feature of man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
