Oliver Goldsmith
One I have loved, uneluding, dearly possessed, Two I have wooed, by greater praise be they blessed – Three, yea, and four, with fortune lavish of gold, Five maidens I've won their white flesh fair to behold, And six more bright than the sun on my city's strong walls With never a treacherous rede to blemish delight; Seven by heaven! though hardly won was the fight – Yea eight of whom I have sung: but to bridle the tongue Lest heedless a careless word slip – the teeth they are strong! View quote
Hywel ab Owain Gwynedd
I dreaded those public moments that highlighted the fact that I was a foreigner. Sometimes I sat at my desk, plotting my revenge. I would master the English language.

I would cut out their souls and leave them on the shore to be pecked on by vultures. View quote

Hermann Hesse
I have definitely come to the conclusion that it is better to eat beefsteak and have a kind tongue than to be a strict vegetarian and, from a pedestal of superiority, look down upon this world. Again, I would point out that generalisations are inexact. I have known many vegetarians who were lovely and sweet and kind and good. View quote
Alice Bailey
