Cease

Famous quotes containing the word cease:

“Although I joy in thee,
I have no joy of this contract tonight.
It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden,
Too like the lightning which doth cease to be
Ere one can say it lightens.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“I shall not cease to bless because
I lay about me with the taws
That night and morning I may thrash
Greek Alexander from my flesh,
Augustus Caesar, and after these
That great rogue Alcibiades.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“And some cease feeling
Even themselves or for themselves.
Dullness best solves
The tease and doubt of shelling,”
—Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
