Excellent

Famous quotes containing the word excellent:

    “What have I gained?”
    “Experience,” said Holmes, laughing. “Indirectly it may be of value, you know; you have only to put it into words to gain the reputation of being excellent company for the remainder of your existence.”
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    Nobody is saying that these people do not ultimately cease to be. And
    Sometimes their passings are even more painful than ours.
    It is just that so often they live till their hair is white.
    They make excellent corpses, among the expensive flowers. . . .
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    So excellent a king that was to this
    Hyperion to a satyr, so loving to my mother
    That he might not beteem the winds of heaven
    Visit her face too roughly.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
