Mad

Famous quotes containing the word mad:

    [T]he most artful method [of courtship] would be this, to tell her that what she doth not possess is useless and contemptible, that weakness and imperfection is the perfection of a woman, that I am stark mad in love with ignorance; and thus shall I allure her by calling her [a] fool.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    Some men there are love not a gaping pig,
    Some that are mad if they behold a cat,
    And others when the bagpipe sings i’th’ nose
    Cannot contain their urine.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Jesu, Jesu, the mad days that I have spent! And to see how
    many of my old acquaintance are dead!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
