Fixed Lines

Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or lines:

“Nothing stands out so conspicuously, or remains so firmly fixed in the memory, as something which you have blundered.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

“When first my lines of heavenly joys made mention,
Such was their luster, they did so excel,
That I sought out quaint words and trim invention;
My thoughts began to burnish, sprout, and swell,
Curling with metaphors a plain intention,
Decking the sense as if it were to sell.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
