Famous quotes containing the words oliver and/or hardy:

    I have seen in this revolution a circular motion of the sovereign power through two usurpers, father and son, to the late King to this his son. For ... it moved from King Charles I to the Long Parliament; from thence to the Rump; from the Rump to Oliver Cromwell; and then back again from Richard Cromwell to the Rump; then to the Long Parliament; and thence to King Charles, where long may it remain.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    The Roman Road runs straight and bare
    As the pale parting-line in hair
    Across the heath.
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
