Famous quotes containing the words chase and/or cup:

    Did ye not hear it?—No; ‘twas but the wind,
    Or the car rattling o’er the stony street;
    On with the dance! let joy be unconfined;
    No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet
    To chase the glowing Hours with flying feet.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    I know it does make people happy, but to me it is just like having a cup of tea.
    Cynthia Paine (b. 1934)
