Famous quotes containing the words satirical, tales and/or rabelais:

    The satirical rogue says here that old men have grey beards,
    that their faces are wrinkled, their eyes purging thick amber
    and plum-tree gum, and that they have a plentiful lack of wit,
    together with most weak hams.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Shall we rest us here,
    And by relating tales of others’ griefs,
    See if ‘twill teach us to forget our own?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    When my soul leaves this human dwelling, I will not consider myself to have completely died, but to pass from one state to another, given that, in you and by you, I remain in my visible image in this world.
    —François Rabelais (1494–1553)
