Famous quotes containing the word portion:

    “I was the rector’s son, born to the anglican order,
    Banned for ever from the candles of the Irish poor;
    The Chichesters knelt in marble at the end of a transept
    With ruffs about their necks, their portion sure.”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    “This made you first to know the Why
    You liked, then after to apply
    That liking; and approach so one the tother,
    Till either grew a portion of the other;
    Each styled by his end,
    The copy of his friend.”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    “He is a portion of the loveliness
    Which once he made more lovely:”
