Strana 114 - ... for the ultimate peace of the world and for the liberation of its peoples, the German peoples included: for the rights of nations great and small and the privilege of men everywhere to choose their way of life and of obedience. The world must be made safe for democracy.
Strana 94 - He rather prays, you will be pleased to see One such to-day, as other plays should be ; Where neither chorus wafts you o'er the seas, Nor creaking throne comes down, the boys to please ; Nor nimble squib is seen, to make afear'd The gentlewomen ; nor rolled bullet heard To say, it thunders ; nor tempestuous drum Rumbles, to tell you when the storm doth come...
Strana 94 - To make a child, now swaddled, to proceed Man, and then shoot up in one beard and weed Past threescore years; or with three rusty swords, And help of some few foot-and-half-foot words, Fight over York and Lancaster's long jars, And in the tyring-house bring wounds to scars.
Strana 286 - Since you ask me what I wish, gentlemen, that is my answer. I don't make merry myself at Christmas, and I can't afford to make idle people merry. I help to support the establishments I have mentioned — they cost enough: and those who are badly off must go there.

Strana 310 - Do I say this to serve MY cause!' cried Fern. 'Who can give me back my liberty, who can give me back my good name, who can give me back my innocent niece? Not all the Lords and Ladies in wide England. But, gentlemen, gentlemen, dealing with other men like me, begin at the right end. Give us, in mercy, better homes when we're a-lying in our cradles; give us better food when we're a-working for our lives; give us kinder laws to bring us back when we're a-going wrong; and don't set Jail, Jail, Jail,...
Strana 114 - We are now about to accept the gage of battle with this natural foe to liberty, and shall, if necessary, spend the whole force of the nation to check and nullify its pretensions and its power.
Strana 287 - It is required of every man,' the ghost returned, 'that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow men, and travel far and wide; and if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death. It is doomed to wander through the world - oh, woe is me! - and witness what it cannot share, but might have shared on earth, and turned to happiness!'
