Famous quotes containing the words coat and/or arms:

    “There’s not a shirt and a half in all my company, and the half
    shirt is two napkins tacked together and thrown over the
    shoulders like a herald’s coat without sleeves.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “In the whole vast dome of living nature there reigns an open violence, a kind of prescriptive fury which arms all the creatures to their common doom: as soon as you leave the inanimate kingdom you find the decree of violent death inscribed on the very frontiers of life.”
    —Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
