Famous quotes containing the word rough:
“Thus far with rough and all-unable pen
Our bending author hath pursued the story.
In little room confining mighty men.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Not once or twice in our rough island story
The path of duty was the way to glory.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“If we are on the outside, we assume a conspiracy is the perfect working of a scheme. Silent nameless men with unadorned hearts. A conspiracy is everything that ordinary life is not. It’s the inside game, cold, sure, undistracted, forever closed off to us. We are the flawed ones, the innocents, trying to make some rough sense of the daily jostle. Conspirators have a logic and a daring beyond our reach. All conspiracies are the same taut story of men who find coherence in some criminal act.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
