Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or net:
“Boy, I hate their empty shows,
Persian garlands I detest,
Bring me not the late-blown rose
Lingering after all the rest:
Plainer myrtle pleases me
Thus outstretched beneath my vine,
Myrtle more becoming thee,
Waiting with thy master’s wine.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8)
“You have been trapped in the inescapable net of ruin by your own want of sense.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
