Famous quotes containing the words closely, allied and/or species:

    “Let us together closely lie, and kisse,

    —Christopher Hampton (b. 1946)

    “Both classically- and romantically-minded spirits—inasmuch as these two species always exist—occupy themselves with a vision of the future: but the former do so out of a strength of their age, the latter out of its weakness.”
