Lost Adams Semi

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or adams:

    Your love by ours we measure
    Till we have lost our treasure,
    But dying is a pleasure,
    When living is a pain.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    What a vast fraternity it is,—that of ‘Hearts that Ache.’ For the last three months it has seemed to me as though all society were coming to me, to drop its mask for a moment and initiate me into the mystery. How we do suffer! And we go on laughing; for, as a practical joke at our expense, life is a success.
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
