Robinson Won

Famous quotes containing the words robinson and/or won:

    Passion is here a soilure of the wits,
    We’re told, and Love a cross for them to bear;
    Joy shivers in the corner where she knits
    And Conscience always has the rocking-chair,
    Cheerful as when she tortured into fits
    The first cat that was ever killed by Care.
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    I won the battle the wrong way when our worthy Russian generals were losing it the right way.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
