Famous quotes containing the words world, junior and/or ice:

    What a world is this! What is there in it desirable? The good we hope for so strangely mixed, that one knows not what to wish for! And one half of mankind tormenting the other, and being tormented themselves in tormenting!
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    Never burn bridges. Today’s junior prick, tomorrow’s senior partner.
    Kevin Wade, U.S. screenwriter, and Mike Nichols. Katharine Parker (Sigourney Weaver)

    “A tedious brief scene of young Pyramus
    And his love Thisbe, very tragical mirth”—
    Merry and tragical? Tedious and brief?
    That is hot ice and wondrous strange snow!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
