Famous quotes containing the words pope and/or innocent:

    “by man’s oppression cursed,
    They seek the second not to lose the first.
    Men, some to bus’ness, some to pleasure take;
    But ev’ry woman is at heart a rake:”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “Life is extraordinarily suave and sweet with certain natural, witty, affectionate people who have unusual distinction and are capable of every vice, but who make a display of none in public and about whom no one can affirm they have a single one. There is something supple and secret about them. Besides, their perversity gives spice to their most innocent occupations, such as taking a walk in the garden at night.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
