Famous quotes containing the words thy and/or desire:
“Sweet smiling village, loveliest of the lawn,
Thy sports are fled and all thy charms withdrawn;
Amidst thy bowers the tyrant’s hand is seen,
And desolation saddens all thy green;
One only master grasps the whole domain,
And half a tillage stints thy smiling plain;”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
“Human weakness is to desire to know what one does not want to know.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
