Seize

Famous quotes containing the word seize:

    Fairest Cordelia, that art most rich being poor,
    Most choice forsaken, and most loved despised,
    Thee and thy virtues here I seize upon.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Of a truth, Knowledge is power, but it is a power reined by scruple, having a conscience of what must be and what may be; whereas Ignorance is a blind giant who, let him but wax unbound, would make it a sport to seize the pillars that hold up the long- wrought fabric of human good, and turn all the places of joy as dark as a buried Babylon.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    For light doth seize my brain
    With frantic pain.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
