Famous quotes containing the word rhyme:
“A poet who makes use of a worse word instead of a better, because the former fits the rhyme or the measure, though it weakens the sense, is like a jeweller, who cuts a diamond into a brilliant, and diminishes the weight to make it shine more.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“Loving and perishing: it’s been a rhyme all these eternities. The will to love: that is, also being willing to die.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
