Quotations
Jul. 1st, 2008 11:18 pmI found a cool Quotations book in my room and was reading some of them to Lily.
"The more alternatives, the more difficult the choice." - Abbe D'Allainval
"O Death, where is thy sting-a-ling-a-ling,
O Grave, thy victoree?
The bells of Hell go ting-a-ling-a-ling
For you but not for me." -Anonymous, a song popular for the British Army in WWI
"There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion." -Francis Bacon
"Philaster: Oh, but thou dost not know
What 'tis to die.
Bellario: Yes, I do know, my Lord:
'Tis less than to be born; a last sleeping;
A quiet resting from all jealousy,
A thing we pursue; I know besides,
It is but giving over of a game,
That must be lost." -from Philaster by Francis Beaumont
"I never read a book before reviewing it; it prejudices a man so." -Sydney Smith
"When I am dead, I hope it may be said:
'His sins were scarlet, but his books were read.'" -Hilaire Belloc
"The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Television? The word is half Latin and half Greek. No good can come of it." -C.P. Scott
