Famous quotes containing the word sad:
“Yet once more, O ye laurels, and once more,
Ye myrtles brown, with ivy never-sere,
I come to pluck your berries harsh and crude,
And with forcd fingers rude
Shatter your leaves before the mellowing year.
Bitter constraint and sad occasion dear
Compels me to disturb your season due:
For Lycidas is dead, dead ere his prime”
—John Milton (16081674)
“One of the sad realities of being a parent is that the same stuff you know is exciting, educational, and enriching in your childs life is often messy, smelly and exhausting to deal with.”
—Joyce Maynard (20th century)
“With fairest flowers
Whilst summer lasts and I live here, Fidele,
Ill sweeten thy sad grave. Thou shalt not lack
The flower thats like thy face, pale primrose, nor
The azured harebell, like thy veins; no, nor
The leaf of eglantine, whom not to slander,
Outsweetened not thy breath.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
