Famous quotes containing the words julia and/or drusilla:

    Whenas in silks my Julia goes,
    Then, then, methinks, how sweeetly flows
    That liquefaction of her clothes.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    I laugh when I think that all of Rome made it a point not to pronounce Drusilla’s name. Because Rome was mistaken for all those years. Love is not enough for me, and I understood that then.... To love someone is to accept to grow old with her. An old Drusilla is far worse than a dead one.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
