Pluck

Famous quotes containing the word pluck:

“Shorten my days thou canst with sullen sorrow,
And pluck nights from me, but not lend a morrow;
Thou canst help time to furrow me with age,
But stop no wrinkle in his pilgrimage.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last. To pluck the mask from the face of the Pharisee is not to lift an impious hand to the Crown of Thorns.”
—Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)

“I pluck this pale and maiden blossom here.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
