Famous quotes containing the words the best, plays, beaumont and/or fletcher:
“Behind every individual closes organization; before him opens liberty,—the Better, the Best. The first and worse races are dead. The second and imperfect races are dying out, or remain for the maturing of the higher. In the latest race, in man, every generosity, every new perception, the love and praise he extorts from his fellows, are certificates of advance out of fate into freedom.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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)
“All Love’s Emblems and all cry,
Ladies, if not pluckt we dye,”
—John Fletcher (1579–1625)
