Lovers

Famous quotes containing the word lovers:

“Husbands are chiefly good as lovers when they are betraying their wives.”
—Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)

“But love is blind, and lovers cannot see
The pretty follies that themselves commit,
For if they could, Cupid himself would blush
To see me thus transformed to a boy.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Do but consider this small dust, here running in the glass,
By atoms moved.
Could you believe that this the body was
Of one that loved?
And in his mistress’ flame playing like a fly,
Turned to cinders by her eye?
Yes, and in death as life unblest,
To have’t expressed,
Even ashes of lovers find no rest.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
