Famous quotes containing the words west, england and/or franchise:

    I cannot think that espionage can be recommended as a technique for building an impressive civilisation. It’s a lout’s game.
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    Wealth, howsoever got, in England makes
    Lords of mechanics, gentlemen of rakes;
    Antiquity and birth are needless here;
    ‘Tis impudence and money makes a peer.
    Daniel Defoe (1660–1731)

    Many famous feet have trod
    Sublunary paths, and famous hands have weighed
    The strength they have against the strength they need;
    And famous lips interrogated God
    Concerning franchise in eternity....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
