Famous quotes containing the words imperial, armour and/or volume:

    “The imperial votaress passed on,

    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The man whose silent days
    In harmless joys are spent,
    Whom hopes cannot delude,
    Nor sorrow discontent:

    That man needs neither towers
    Nor armour for defence,
    Nor secret vaults to fly
    From thunder’s violence.”
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    “A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
