Famous quotes containing the words captivity and/or book:
“Had it pleased heaven
To try me with affliction, had they rained
All kind of sores and shames on my bare head,
Steeped me in poverty to the very lips,
Given to captivity me and my utmost hopes,
I should have found in some place of my soul
A drop of patience.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Middlemarch, the magnificent book which with all its imperfections is one of the few English novels for grown-up people.”
