Famous quotes containing the word merry:
“Hermione. Pray you sit by us,
And tell’s a tale.
Mamillius. Merry or sad shall’t be?
Hermione. As merry as you will.
Mamillius. A sad tale’s best for winter. I have one
Of sprites and goblins.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“And even my sense of identity was wrapped in a namelessness often hard to penetrate, as we have just seen I think. And so on for all the other things which made merry with my senses. Yes, even then, when already all was fading, waves and particles, there could be no things but nameless things, no names but thingless names. I say that now, but after all what do I know now about then, now when the icy words hail down upon me, the icy meanings, and the world dies too, foully named.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“Surrounded as we are by the wants and woes of our fellow-men, and yet given to follow our own pleasures, regardless of their pains, are we not like people sitting up with a corpse, and making merry in the house of the dead?”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
