Famous quotes containing the words space and/or wing:
“Shall we now
Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
And sell the mighty space of our large honors
For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
Than such a Roman.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Ignorance is the curse of God,
Knowledge the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
