Famous quotes containing the words particle and/or content:

    “You don’t hold any mystery for me, darling, do you mind? There isn’t a particle of you that I don’t know, remember, and want.”
    —Noël Coward (1899–1973)

    “I were content to wearie out my paine,
    To bee Narsissus so she were a spring
    To drowne in hir those woes my heart do wring:
    And more I wish transformed to remaine:
    That whilest I thus in pleasures lappe did lye,
    I might refresh desire, which else would die.”
    —Thomas Lodge (1558?–1625)
