Ceases

Famous quotes containing the word ceases:

    All that a critic, as critic, can give poets is the deadly encouragement that never ceases to remind them of how heavy their inheritance is.
    Harold Bloom (b. 1930)

    When a thing ceases to be a subject of controversy, it ceases to be a subject of interest.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    Marriage has, for its share, usefulness, justice, honour, and constancy; a stale but more durable pleasure. Love is grounded on pleasure alone, and it is indeed more gratifying to the senses, keener and more acute; a pleasure stirred and kept alive by difficulties. There must be a sting and a smart in it. It ceases to be love if it has no shafts and no fire.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
