Famous quotes containing the words eldest and/or brother:
“O, my offense is rank, it smells to heaven;
It hath the primal eldest curse upon ‘t,
A brother’s murder. Pray can I not,
Though inclination be as sharp as will;
My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent,
And like a man to double business bound
I stand in pause where I shall first begin,
And both neglect. What if this cursed hand
Were thicker than itself with brother’s blood,
Is there not rain enough in the sweet heavens
To wash it white as snow?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Your brother and my sister no sooner met but they looked;
no sooner looked but they loved; no sooner loved but they
sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the
reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the
remedy.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
