Sir John Dryden

Famous quotes containing the words john dryden, john and/or dryden:

    A man so various, that he seemed to be
    Not one, but all mankind’s epitome.
    Stiff in opinions, always in the wrong;
    Was everything by starts, and nothing long:
    But in the course of one revolving moon
    Was chemist, fiddler, statesman and buffoon.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

    Time and death shall depart and say in flying
    Love has found out a way to live, by dying.
    —John Dryden (1631–1700)
