Tempest Wrote

Famous quotes containing the words tempest and/or wrote:

    When from thy shore the tempest beat us back,
    I stood upon the hatches in the storm.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Although Samuel had a depraved imagination—perhaps even because of this—love, for him, was less a matter of the senses than of the intellect. It was, above all, admiration and appetite for beauty; he considered reproduction a flaw of love, and pregnancy a form of insanity. He wrote on one occasion: “Angels are hermaphrodite and sterile.”
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
