Set

Famous quotes containing the word set:

    They roused him with muffins—they roused him with ice—
    They roused him with mustard and cress—
    They roused him with jam and judicious advice—
    They set him conundrums to guess.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    But beauty is set apart,
    beauty is cast by the sea,
    a barren rock,
    beauty is set about
    with wrecks of ships....
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    The cunningest dissimulation is when a man pretends to be caught in the traps others set for him; and a man is never so easily over-reached as when he is contriving to over-reach others.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
