Marlowe

Famous quotes containing the word marlowe:

    It lies not in our power to love, or hate,
    For will in us is over-rul’d by fate.
    —Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

    Ah, Faustus,
    Now hast thou but one bare hour to live,
    And then thou must be damned perpetually!
    Stand still, you ever-moving spheres of heaven,
    That time may cease and midnight never come!
    Fair Nature’s eye, rise, rise again and make
    Perpetual day; or let this hour be but
    A year, a month, a week, a natural day,
    That Faustus may repent and save his soul!
    —Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

    Realism to be effective must be a matter of selection. ... genius chooses its materials with a view to their beauty and effectiveness; mere talent copies what it thinks is nature, only to find it has been deceived by the external grossness of things.
    —Julia Marlowe (1866–1950)
