Trusted World

Famous quotes containing the words trusted and/or world:

    Every one, more or less, loves Power, yet those who most wish for it are seldom the fittest to be trusted with it.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    Delusions that shrink to the size of a woman’s glove,
    Then sicken inclusively outwards:
    . . . the incessant recital
    Intoned by reality, larded with technical terms,
    Each one double-yolked with meaning and meaning’s rebuttal:
    For the skirl of that bulletin unpicks the world like a knot....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
