Classic Paradise Mix

Famous quotes containing the words classic, paradise and/or mix:

    The great British Library—an immense collection of volumes of all ages and languages, many of which are now forgotten, and most of which are seldom read: one of these sequestered pools of obsolete literature to which modern authors repair, and draw buckets full of classic lore, or “pure English, undefiled” wherewith to swell their own scanty rills of thought.
    Washington Irving (1783–1859)

    A fool’s paradise is a wise man’s hell!
    Thomas Fuller (1608–1661)

    I will go back to the great sweet mother,
    Mother and lover of men, the sea.
    I will go down to her, I and no other,
    Close with her, kiss her and mix her with me.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)
