Peter Carey

Famous quotes containing the words peter and/or carey:

    To refer is not to assert, though you refer in order to go on to assert.
    —Sir Peter Frederick Strawson (b. 1919)

    All ye poets of the age,
    All ye witlings of the stage,
    Learn your jingles to reform,
    Crop your numbers to conform.
    Let your little verses flow
    Gently, sweetly, row by row;
    Let the verse the subject fit,
    Little subject, little wit.
    Namby-Pamby is your guide,
    Albion’s joy, Hibernia’s pride.
    —Henry Carey (1693?–1743)
