Famous quotes containing the words original and/or chartered:
“The echo is, to some extent, an original sound, and therein is the magic and charm of it. It is not merely a repetition of what was worth repeating in the bell, but partly the voice of the wood; the same trivial words and notes sung by a wood-nymph.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When he speaks,
The air, a chartered libertine, is still.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
