Famous quotes containing the word bare:
“If intellection and knowledge were mere passion from without, or the bare reception of extraneous and adventitious forms, then no reason could be given at all why a mirror or looking-glass should not understand; whereas it cannot so much as sensibly perceive those images which it receives and reflects to us.”
—Ralph J. Cudworth (16171688)
“For who would bare the whips and scorns of time,
Thoppressors wrong, the proud mans contumely,
The pangs of disprized love, the laws delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of thunworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin?”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Let us be unashamed of soul,
As earth lies bare to heaven above!
How is it under our control
To love or not to love?”
—Robert Browning (18121889)
