Famous quotes containing the word corner:
“O curse of marriage,
That we can call these delicate creatures ours
And not their appetites! I had rather be a toad,
And live upon the vapour of a dungeon
Than keep a corner in the thing I love
For others’ uses.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Something is sticking out its tongue at me from the corner of my mirror.”
