“She is not fair to outward view / As many maidens be; / Her loveliness I never knew / Until she smiled on me.”
Hartley Coleridge
“The worst thing is the lack of justice. To leave the case unattended and unsolved was... as cruel as killing Karin.”
Prof. Edwin Grech
“"The cradle of modern democracy but was now, on some measures, the most centralised country in Europe, bar Malta".”
British Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg
“Muscat has a way to go in crafting a team that, along with new blood that could come along through the next general election, could take up the task of governing the country with confidence”
Lino Spiteri
“What would politics be without its own particular peculiar sense of humour, even if it is not quite funny, ha ha.”
“For she is a fair maiden, fairest lady of a house of queens. And yet I know not how I should speak of her. When I first looked on her and perceived her unhappiness, it seemed to me that I saw a white flower standing straight and proud, shapely as a lily, and yet knew that it was hard, as if wrought by elf-wrights out of steel. Or was it, maybe, a frost that had turned its sap to ice, and so it stood, bitter-sweet, still fair to see, but stricken, soon to fall and die?”
J.R.R. Tolkien
“Her very frowns are fairer far, / Than smiles of other maidens are.”
