The Bride of Lammermoor Quotes

“All however agreed, that the spot was fatal to the Ravenswood family; and to drink of the waters of the well or even approach its brink, was ominous to a descendant of that house, as for a Grahame to wear green, a Bruce to kill a spider, or a St. Clair to cross the Ord on a Monday.”
― Walter Scott, The Bride of Lammermoor

“Craigengelt, you are either an honest fellow in right good earnest, and I scarce know how to believe that; or you are cleverer than I took you for, and I scarce know how to believe that either.”
― Sir Walter Scott, The Bride of Lammermoor
