Famous quotes containing the words ugly and/or sisters:

    Yet herein will I imitate the sun,
    Who doth permit the base contagious clouds
    To smother up his beauty from the world,
    That when he please again to be himself,
    Being wanted, he may be more wondered at
    By breaking through the foul and ugly mists
    Of vapors that did seem to strangle him
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The miller quickly drew the dam,
    An’ there he found a drown’d woman.

    You cou’dna see her yallow hair
    For gold and pearle that were so rare.
    —Unknown. The Twa Sisters (l. 32–35)
