Famous quotes containing the word fire:
“Why I love the ancients so much? Aside from everything else, when I read them, the entire past between them and me unfolds at the same time. The hearts of how many heroes and poets may have been set on fire by Plutarch’s biographies which now inspire me with their own and with borrowed flames!”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Our hearts you see not; they are pitiful;
And pity to the general wrong of Rome—
As fire drives out fire, so pity pity—
Hath done this deed on Caesar.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Let it be forgotten as a flower is forgotten,
Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold.”
—Sara Teasdale (1884–1933)
