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)

    “In an ancient and dead language, any recognition of living nature attracts us. These are such sentences as were written while grass grew and water ran. It is no small recommendation when a book will stand the test of mere unobstructed sunshine and daylight.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The sire then shook the honors of his head,
    And from his brows damps of oblivion shed
    Full on the filial dullness:”
    —John Dryden (1631–1700)
