Famous quotes containing the words superior and/or court:
“We are superior to the joy we experience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
““But such as you and I do not seem old
Like men who live by habit. Every day
I ride with falcon to the river’s edge
Or carry the ringed mail upon my back,
Or court a woman; neither enemy,
Game-bird, nor woman does the same thing twice....””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
