Famous quotes containing the words universal and/or time:

    Nay, had I power, I should
    Pour the sweet milk of concord into hell,
    Uproar the universal peace, confound
    All unity on earth.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Or would interior time, that could delay
    The sentence chronic with the last assize,
    Start running backwards with its timely lies,
    I might have time to live the love I say....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
