Bud Stage

Famous quotes containing the words bud and/or stage:

    And yet no greater, but more eminent,
    Love by the spring is grown;
    As, in the firmament,
    Stars by the sun are not enlarged, but shown,
    Gentle love deeds, as blossoms on a bough,
    From love’s awakened root do bud out now.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    Morality is a venereal disease. Its primary stage is called virtue; its secondary stage, boredom; its tertiary stage, syphilis.
