Famous quotes containing the words gender and/or mix:
“But there, where I have garnered up my heart,
Where either I must live or bear no life;
The fountain from the which my current runs
Or else dries up: to be discarded thence,
Or keep it as a cistern for foul toads
To knot and gender in!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“One could laugh at the world better if it didn’t mix tender kindliness with its brutality.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
