Wyatt Evil

Famous quotes containing the words wyatt and/or evil:

    My lute awake! perform the last
    Labour that thou and I shall waste,
    And end that I have now begun;
    For when this song is sung and past,
    My lute be still, for I have done.
    —Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    The genius of American culture and its integrity comes from fidelity to the light. Plain as day, we say. Happy as the day is long. Early to bed, early to rise. American virtues are daylight virtues: honesty, integrity, plain speech. We say yes when we mean yes and no when we mean no, and all else comes from the evil one. America presumes innocence and even the right to happiness.
    Richard Rodriguez (b. 1944)
