Famous quotes containing the words mere and/or oblivion:

    Do you think that it is possible to have a mere taste of commonness? Either one hates it or makes common cause with it.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    If I be false, or swerve a hair from truth,
    When time is old and hath forgot itself,
    When waterdrops have worn the stones of Troy,
    And blind oblivion swallowed cities up,
    And mighty states characterless are grated
    To dusty nothing, yet let memory
    From false to false among false maids in love
    Upbraid my falsehood.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
