Thin

Famous quotes containing the word thin:

    “Romeo. Peace, peace, Mercutio, peace!
    Thou talk’st of nothing.
    Mercutio. True, I talk of dreams,
    Which are the children of an idle brain,
    Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,
    Which is as thin of substance as the air,
    And more inconstant than the wind.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “If I had a thousand sons, the first humane principle I would
    teach them should be, to forswear thin potations and to addict
    themselves to sack.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Why does the thin grey strand
    Floating up from the forgotten
    Cigarette between my fingers,
    Why does it trouble me?”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
