Dries

Famous quotes containing the word dries:

“Who called love conquering,
When its sweet flower
So easily dries among the sour
Lanes of the living?”

“Nothing dries sooner than tears.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

“A man’s interest in the world is only the overflow from his interest in himself. When you are a child your vessel is not yet full; so you care for nothing but your own affairs. When you grow up, your vessel overflows; and you are a politician, a philosopher, or an explorer and adventurer. In old age the vessel dries up: there is no overflow: you are a child again.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
