Ice Caps

Famous quotes containing the words ice and/or caps:

    “A tedious brief scene of young Pyramus
    And his love Thisbe, very tragical mirth”—
    Merry and tragical? Tedious and brief?
    That is hot ice and wondrous strange snow!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    ... people were so ridiculous with their illusions, carrying their fools’ caps unawares, thinking their own lies opaque while everybody else’s were transparent, making themselves exceptions to everything, as if when all the world looked yellow under a lamp they alone were rosy.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
