Famous quotes containing the words mere oblivion, mere and/or oblivion:

    “Last scene of all,
    That ends this strange eventful history,
    Is second childishness, and mere oblivion,
    Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans every thing.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Laws ... proportionate and mild should never be dispensed with. Let mercy be the character of the law-giver, but let the judge be a mere machine.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “The others died, the luck of it blurting through them.
    I could not, I was a silly broken umbrella
    and oblivion would not kiss me. For three days it
    was thus.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
