Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or bribe:

“The eye doesn’t see any shapes, it sees only what is differentiated through light and dark or through colors.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

“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)
