Quotes 

• Lemuel Gulliver : But unless thousands are starving, how can there be structure to society?

• Lemuel Gulliver : I'd like to leave you a gift. My ring.

  Clustril : Oh, marvellous! What do I want your ring for, eh? I can't wear it, can I? It's... it's...

  Lemuel Gulliver : It's gold.

  Clustril : [takes it in awe]  I'm rich! You always treated me good! You was always my friend! Dad, I'm rich!

  Drunlo : Never mind that, son, never mind that. I think I found... the other boot!

• Queen of Brobdingnag : The history of your country seems to consist of nothing more than a squalid string of conspiracies, rebellions, revolutions, murders and massacres. Every judgment seems to be motivated by greed, by malice, hypocrisy, hatred, envy, lust and madness!

  Lemuel Gulliver : Perhaps I explained badly.

  Queen of Brobdingnag : You have proved that ignorance, idleness and vice are the only qualifications for public office and that your laws are made by those whose only interest is in perverting them. I can only conclude that your people are the most pernicious race of odious little vermin that ever nature suffered to crawl upon the face of the Earth!
