Famous quotes containing the words evil and/or clown:

    There is no evil in the atom; only in men’s souls.
    Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)

    Or else I thought her supernatural;
    As though a sterner eye looked through her eye
    On this foul world in its decline and fall,
    On gangling stocks grown great, great stocks run dry,
    Ancestral pearls all pitched into a sty,
    Heroic reverie mocked by clown and knave....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
