Famous quotes containing the words pope and/or innocent:
“He saw, he wish’d, and to the prize aspir’d.
Resolv’d to win, he meditates the way,
By force to ravish, or by fraud betray;
For when success a lover’s toil attends,
Few ask, if fraud or force attain’d his ends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“The innocent are so few that two of them seldom meet—when they do meet, their victims lie strewn around.”
