Quotes

  • I, Christopher Logue, was baptized the yearMany thousands of Englishmen,Fists clenched, their bellies empty,Walked day and night on the capital city.
  • Come to the edge.We might fall.Come to the edge.It's too high!COME TO THE EDGE!And they cameAnd he pushedAnd they flew.
  • Said Marx, "Don't be snobbish, we seek to abolishThe 3rd class, not the 1st."
