Famous quotes containing the words mystery and/or plays:
“So we’ll live,
And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh
At gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues
Talk of court news; and we’ll talk with them too—
Who loses and who wins; who’s in, who’s out—
And take upon ‘s the mystery of things,
As if we were God’s spies.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Self-interest speaks all sort of languages, and plays all sort of roles—even that of disinterest.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
