Evil Sisters

Famous quotes containing the words evil and/or sisters:

“In really hard times the rules of the game are altered. The inchoate mass begins to stir. It becomes potent, and when it strikes,... it strikes with incredible emphasis. Those are the rare occasions when a national will emerges from the scattered, specialized, or indifferent blocs of voters who ordinarily elect the politicians. Those are for good or evil the great occasions in a nation’s history.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

“‘Tis not Apollo can, or those thrice three
Castalian sisters sing, if wanting thee.
Horace, Anacreon both had lost their fame.
Had’st thou not filled them with thy fire and flame.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
