1st Earl of Lovelace

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or lovelace:

    To write anything tolerable, the mind must be in a natural, proper disposition; provocatives, in that case, as well as in another, will only produce miserable, abortive performances.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Then Love, I beg, when next thou takest thy bow,
    Thy angry shafts, and dost heart-chasing go,
    Pass rascal deer, strike me the largest doe.
    —Richard Lovelace (1618–1658)
