Burns

Famous quotes containing the word burns:

“It is because everything is relative
That we shall never see in that sphere of pure wisdom and
Entertainment much more than groping shadows of an incomplete
Former existence so close it burns like the mouth that
Closes down over all your effort like the moment
Of death”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“O Mary, canst thou wreck his peace,
Wha for thy sake wad gladly die?
Or canst thou break that heart of his,
Whase only faut is loving thee?”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)

“The social, friendly, honest man, Whate’er he be,
‘Tis he fulfils great Nature’s plan, And none but he.”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
