Lady Godiva es una pintura al óleo sobre lienzo de 1897 del artista inglés John Collier, quien trabajó en el estilo de la Hermandad Prerrafaelita. La representación de Lady Godiva y su conocido pero apócrifo paseo por Coventry, Inglaterra, se encuentra en la Galería de Arte y Museo Herbert de Coventry.
“Taxes have a long and ugly history. … From then to now—whatever the form of government—Kings, Commissars Chancellors: even Presidents and Prime ministers lust for loot. It's enough to set one pining for the reincarnation of Lady Godiva.”
“Perhaps it is just a matter of time before some new Godiva will coax the current earls of Mercia and bring about the perfection to which Mark Twain alluded...; and usher in a greater era of understanding, compassion, and tolerance, "with liberty and justice for all," to accompany our scientific progress, and this outcome--Godot himself would no doubt deem worth waiting for.”
