Sir Vincent Meredith

Famous quotes containing the words sir, vincent and/or meredith:

    There are a sort of men whose visages
    Do cream and mantle like a standing pond,
    And do a willful stillness entertain,
    With purpose to be dressed in an opinion
    Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit,
    As who should say, “I am Sir Oracle,
    And when I ope my lips let no dog bark!”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age.
    The child is grown, and puts away childish things.
    Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.
    Nobody that matters, that is.
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    Mark where the pressing wind shoots javelin-like
    Its skeleton shadow on the broad-backed wave!
    Here is a fitting spot to dig Love’s grave;
    —George Meredith (1828–1909)
