Famous quotes containing the word bred:
“Good my lord,
You have begot me, bred me, loved me. I
Return those duties back as are right fit,
Obey you, love you, and most honor you.
Why have my sisters husbands if they say
They love you all? Haply, when I shall wed,
That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry
Half my love with him, half my care and duty.
Sure I shall never marry like my sisters,
To love my father all.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Give me the critic bred in Natures school,
Who neither talks by rote, nor thinks by rule;
Who feelings honest dictates still obeys,
And dares, without a precedent, to praise.”
—Martin Archer, Sir Shee (17691850)
“Modern civilization has bred a race with brains like those of rabbits and we who are the heirs of the witch-doctor and the voodoo. We artists who have been so long the despised are about to take over control.”
—Ezra Pound (18851972)
