All That Could Have Been

Famous quotes containing the words all, that and/or have:

    I have had playmates, I have had companions,
    In my days of childhood, in my joyful school-days,
    All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.
    Charles Lamb (1775–1834)

    One perceives that again and again she has destroyed her life when it was forming into shapes of happiness because of her loyalty to the early misery, her conviction that that has the sanction of ultimate reality, and that beside it all other things are trivial.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    Let it not your wonder move,
    Less your laughter, that I love.
    Though I now write fifty years,
    I have had, and have, my peers;
    Poets, though divine, are men:
    Some have loved as old again.
    And it is not always face,
    Clothes, or fortune gives the grace,
    Or the feature, or the youth;
    But the language, and the truth,
    With the ardour and the passion,
    Gives the lover weight and fashion.
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
