Quotes of the Week - January 17, 2012:
"Our campaign is about more than replacing a President. It is about
saving the soul of America." -- Republican Mitt Romney, US presidential
hopeful, after winning New Hampshire primary.
"Remember to look up at the stars and not down to your feet. Try
to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe
exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always
something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don't just
give up." -- Professor Stephen Hawking on his 70th birthday.
"American children had never seen a moving bosom before."
-- Actress Celia Imrie on the alarm caused by her low-cut dress in Nanny

Man,
proud man,
Drest in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what he's most assured,
His glassy essence, like an angry ape,
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As make the angels weep.
Measure for Measure, 2. 2 |
That
in the captain's but a choleric word
Which in the soldier is flat blasphemy.
Measure for Measure, 2. 2
|
Is
this her fault or mine?
The tempter or the tempted, who sins most?
Measure for Measure, 2. 2 |
O
cunning enemy, that, to catch a saint,
With saints dost bait thy hook! Most dangerous
Is that temptation that doth goad us on
To sin in loving virtue: never could the strumpet,
With all her double vigour, art and nature,
Once stir my temper; but this virtuous maid
Subdues me quite. Even till now,
When men were fond, I smiled and wondered how.
Measure for Measure, 2. 2 |
Might
there not be a charity in sin
To save this brother's life?
Measure for Measure, 2. 4 |
The
miserable have no other medicine,
But only hope.
Measure for Measure, 3. 1 |
Be
absolute for death; either death or life
Shall thereby be the sweeter. Reason thus with life:
If I do lose thee, I do lose a thing
That none but fools would keep: a breath thou art.
Measure for Measure, 3. 1 |
If
I must die,
I will encounter darkness as a bride,
And hug it in mine arms.
Measure for Measure, 3. 1 |
The
cunning livery of hell.
Measure for Measure, 3. 1 |
Ay,
but to die, and go we know not where;
To lie in cold obstruction and to rot;
This sensible warm motion to become
A kneaded clod; and the delighted spirit
To bathe in fiery floods, or to reside
In thrilling region of thick-ribbed ice;
To be imprisoned in the viewless winds,
And blown with restless violence round about
The pendent world.
Measure for Measure, 3. 1 |
