Famous quotes containing the word parts:

    She, as a veil down to the slender waist,
    Her unadorned golden tresses wore
    Dishevelled, but in wanton ringlets waved
    As the vine curls her tendrils, which implied
    Subjection, but required with gentle sway,
    And by her yielded, by him best received,
    Yielded with coy submission, modest pride,
    And sweet, reluctant, amorous delay.
    Nor those mysterious parts were then concealed:
    Then was not guilty shame: dishonest Shame
    Of Nature’s works, Honour dishonourable.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    Thus Satan talking to his neerest Mate
    With Head up-lift above the wave, and Eyes
    That sparkling blaz’d, his other Parts besides
    Prone on the Flood, extended long and large
    Lay floating many a rood, in bulk as huge
    As whom the Fables name of monstrous size,
    Titanian, or Earth-born, that warr’d on Jove,
    Briarios or Typhon, whom the Den
    By ancient Tarsus held, or that Sea-beast
    Leviathan,
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    Language is a living thing. We can feel it changing. Parts of it become old: they drop off and are forgotten. New pieces bud out, spread into leaves, and become big branches, proliferating.
    Gilbert Highet (1906–1978)
