Dismal Science

Famous quotes containing the words dismal and/or science:

    I have almost forgot the taste of fears.
    The time has been, my senses would have cooled
    To hear a night-shriek, and my fell of hair
    Would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir
    As life were in’t. I have supped full with horrors;
    Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts,
    Cannot once start me.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    One science only will one genius fit;
    So vast is art, so narrow human wit.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
