Lover

Famous quotes containing the word lover:

“Let it not your wonder move,
Less your laughter, that I love.
Though I now write fifty years,
I have had, and have, my peers;
Poets, though divine, are men:
Some have loved as old again.
And it is not always face,
Clothes, or fortune gives the grace,
Or the feature, or the youth;
But the language, and the truth,
With the ardour and the passion,
Gives the lover weight and fashion.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

“Thou wilt be like a lover presently
And tire the hearer with a book of words.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Literary imagination is an aesthetic object offered by a writer to a lover of books.”
—Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)
