Famous quotes containing the word barbellion:

    My confessions are shameless. I confess, but do not repent. The fact is, my confessions are prompted, not by ethical motives, but intellectual. The confessions are to me the interesting records of a self-investigator.
    —W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)
