Cease

Famous quotes containing the word cease:

“Ah, Faustus,
Now hast thou but one bare hour to live,
And then thou must be damned perpetually!
Stand still, you ever-moving spheres of heaven,
That time may cease and midnight never come!
Fair Nature’s eye, rise, rise again and make
Perpetual day; or let this hour be but
A year, a month, a week, a natural day,
That Faustus may repent and save his soul!”
—Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

“Faith is not a thing which one “loses,” we merely cease to shape our lives by it.”
—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)

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