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

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."

Shakespeare - Love's Labour's Lost Quotes, Famous Quotations |

He
hath never fed of the dainties that are bred in a book; he hath
not eat paper, as it were; he hath not drunk ink.
Love's Labour's Lost, 4. 2 |
Old
Mantuan! old Mantuan! Who understandeth thee not, loves thee
not.
Love's Labour's Lost, 4. 2

For
where is any author in the world
Teaches such beauty as a woman's eye?
Learning is but an adjunct to ourself.
Love's Labour's Lost, 4. 3 |
But
love, first learnèd in a lady's eyes,
Lives not alone immurèd in the brain,
But, with the motion of all elements,
Courses as swift as thought in every power,
And gives to every power a double power,
Above their functions and their offices.
It adds a precious seeing to the eye;
A lover's eyes will gaze an eagle blind;
A lover's ears will hear the lowest sound,
When the suspicious head of theft is stopped:
Love's feeling is more soft and sensible
Than are the tender horns of cockled snails:
Love's tongue proves dainty Baccus gross in taste.
For valour, is not love a Hercules,
Still climbing trees in the Hesperides?
Subtle as Sphinx; as sweet and musical
As bright Apollo's lute, strung with his hair;
And when Love speaks, the voice of all the gods
Makes heaven drowsy with the harmony.
Never durst poet touch a pen to write
Until his ink were tempered with Love's sighs.
Love's Labour's Lost, 4. 3 |
From
women's eyes this doctrine I derive:
They sparkle still the right Promethean fire;
They are the books, the arts, the academes,
That show, contain, and nourish all the world.
Love's Labour's Lost, 4. 3 |
They have been at a great feast of languages, and stolen the
scraps.
Love's Labour's Lost, 5. 1 |
In
the posteriors of this day, which the rude multitude call the
afternoon.
Love's Labour's Lost, 5. 1 |
Taffeta
phrases, silken terms precise.
Love's Labour's Lost, 5. 2 |
Henceforth
my wooing mind shall be expressed
In russet yeas and honest kersey noes.
Love's
Labour's Lost, 5. 2 |
A
jest's prosperity lies in the ear
Of him that hears it, never in the tongue
Of him that makes it.
Love's
Labour's Lost, 5. 2 |
