Famous quotes containing the words plays, beaumont and/or fletcher:

    God has a hard-on for a Marine because we kill everything we see. He plays His game, we play ours.
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

    Know from this the world’s a snare,
    How that greatness is but care,
    How all pleasures are but pain,
    And how short they do remain:
    —Francis Beaumont (1584-1616)

    Joys as winged dreams fly fast,
    Why should sadness longer last?
    Grief is but a wound to woe;
    Gentlest fair, mourn, mourn no moe.
    —John Fletcher (1579–1625)
