Venus Transits Jupiter

Famous quotes containing the words venus and/or jupiter:

    For her own person,
    It beggared all description: she did lie
    In her pavilion—cloth of gold, of tissue—
    O’er-picturing that Venus where we see
    The fancy outwork nature.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I stand for the heart. To the dogs with the head! I had rather be a fool with a heart, than Jupiter Olympus with his head. The reason the mass of men fear God, and at bottom dislike Him, is because they rather distrust His heart, and fancy Him all brain like a watch.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
