Quotes

  • More rich, more noble I will ever holdThe Muse's laurel, than a crown of gold.
  • I willingly accept Cassandra's fate,To speak the truth, although believ'd too late.
  • The bloody wolf, the wolf does not pursue;The boar, though fierce, his tusk will not embrueIn his own kind,Bears, not on bears do prey:Then art thou, man, more savage far than they.
  • We are Diana’s virgin train,Descended of no mortal strain:Our bows and arrows are our goods,Our palaces the lofty woods.* * *If you ask where such wights do dwell,In what blest clime, that so excel,The poets only that can tell.
