Middle East Force

Famous quotes containing the words middle, east and/or force:

“F.R. Leavis’s “eat up your broccoli” approach to fiction emphasises this junkfood/wholefood dichotomy. If reading a novel—for the eighteenth century reader, the most frivolous of diversions—did not, by the middle of the twentieth century, make you a better person in some way, then you might as well flush the offending volume down the toilet, which was by far the best place for the undigested excreta of dubious nourishment.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)

“I’ th’ East my pleasure lies.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Strange how such innocence gets its own way.
I shouldn’t be surprised if in this world
It were the force that would at last prevail.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
