Lark Quarry

Famous quotes containing the words lark and/or quarry:

    Why was the human race created? Or at least why wasn’t something creditable created in place of it? God had His opportunity. He could have made a reputation. But no, He must commit this grotesque folly—a lark which must have cost Him a regret or two when He came to think it over and observe effects.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    This quarry cries on havoc. O proud Death,
    What feast is toward in thine eternal cell,
    That thou so many princes at a shot
    So bloodily hast struck?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
