Famous quotes containing the words reverse and/or angle:
“We came home from the ridotto so late, or rather so early, that it was not possible for me to write. Indeed we did not go ... till past eleven o’clock: but nobody does. A terrible reverse of the order of nature! We sleep with the sun, and wake with the moon.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“Modesty is the only sure bait when you angle for praise.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
