Famous quotes containing the words time and/or line:

    “All, men my madmen, the unwholesome wind
    With whistler’s cough contages, time on track
    Shapes in a cinder death; love for his trick,
    Happy Cadaver’s hunger as you take
    The kissproof world.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “If you’re anxious for to shine in the high esthetic line as a man
    of culture rare,
    You must get up all the germs of the transcendental terms, and plant
    them everywhere.
    You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases of your
    complicated state of mind,
    The meaning doesn’t matter if it’s only idle chatter of a
    transcendental kind.”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
