Master Monk Guan

Famous quotes containing the words master and/or monk:

    “The beasts, the fishes, and the winged fowls
    Are their males’ subjects and at their controls:
    Man, more divine, the master of all these,
    Lord of the wide world and wild watery seas,
    Indued with intellectual sense and souls,
    Of more pre-eminence than fish and fowls,
    Are masters to their females, and their lords:
    Then let your will attend on their accords.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “A monk ther was, a fair for the maistrie,
    An outridere, that lovede venerie,
    A manly man, to been an abbot able.”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
