Mock

Famous quotes containing the word mock:

“Your mock saint who stands in a niche is not a woman if she have not suffered, still less a woman if she have not sinned. Fall at the feet of your idol as you wish, but drag her down to your level after that—the only level she should ever reach, that of your heart.”
—Emmuska, Baroness Orczy (1865–1947)

“Isn’t it the sweetest mockery to mock our enemies?”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

“For ever will I sleep, while poor maids cry,
Alas, for pity stay,
And let us die
With thee, men cannot mock us in the clay.”
—Francis Beaumont (1584-1616)
