Famous quotes containing the words quaker and/or bought:
“this old Quaker graveyard where the bones
Cry out in the long night for the hurt beast
Bobbing by Ahabs whaleboats in the East.”

“You know, what I very well know, that I bought you. And I know, what perhaps you think I dont know, you are now selling yourselves to somebody else; and I know, what you do not know, that I am buying another borough. May Gods curse light upon you all: may your houses be as open and common to all Excise Officers as your wifes and daughters were to me, when I stood for your scoundrel corporation.”
—Anthony Henley (d. 1745)
