Famous quotes containing the words minutes and/or midnight:
“O, beware, my lord, of jealousy!
It is the green-ey’d monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on. That cuckold lives in bliss
Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger;
But, O, what damned minutes tells he o’er
Who dotes, yet doubts, suspects, yet strongly loves!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The contest ends at midnight tonight
But you can submit again, and again.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
