Famous quotes containing the words mere and/or oblivion:

    “But we are soldiers,
    And may that soldier a mere recreant prove,
    That means not, hath not, or is not in love.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The others died, the luck of it blurting through them.
    I could not, I was a silly broken umbrella
    and oblivion would not kiss me. For three days it
    was thus.”
