Famous quotes containing the words compass and/or turns:
“It is the star to every wand’ring bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The danger in happiness.—”Now everything turns out for the best for me, now I love every destiny:—who feels like being my destiny?””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
