The Count Taketh Away

Famous quotes containing the words count and/or taketh:

    “Raise your eyes and count the small gang of your oppressors who are only strong through the blood they suck from you and through your arms which you lend them unwillingly.”
    —Georg Büchner (1813–1837)

    “Give me a look, give me a face,
    That makes simplicity a grace;
    Robes loosely flowing, hair as free:
    Such sweet neglect more taketh me,
    Than all the adulteries of art;
    They strike mine eyes, but not my heart.”
    —Ben Jonson (c. 1572–1637)
