Famous quotes containing the words plays, james and/or shirley:

    Where neither love nor hatred plays a part, a woman plays indifferently.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Under certain circumstances there are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.
    —Henry James (1843–1916)

    Victorious men of earth, no more
    Proclaim how wide your empires are;
    Though you bind in every shore
    And your triumphs reach as far
    As night or day,
    Yet you, proud monarchs, must obey
    And mingle with forgotten ashes, when
    Death calls ye to the crowd of common men.
    —James Shirley (1596–1666)
