Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or english:
“So here I am, in the middle way, having had twenty years
Twenty years largely wasted, the years of lentre deux guerres
Trying to learn to use words, and every attempt
Is a wholly new start, and a different kind of failure....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“So is the English Parliament provincial. Mere country bumpkins, they betray themselves, when any more important question arises for them to settle, the Irish question, for instance,the English question why did I not say? Their natures are subdued to what they work in. Their good breeding respects only secondary objects.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
