Famous quotes containing the word corner:
“Passion is here a soilure of the wits,
We’re told, and Love a cross for them to bear;
Joy shivers in the corner where she knits
And Conscience always has the rocking-chair,
Cheerful as when she tortured into fits
The first cat that was ever killed by Care.”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
“And with the corner of a Creed,
The more shall be your meed.”
—John Skelton (1460?–1529)
“All that Shakespeare says of the king, yonder slip of a boy that reads in the corner feels to be true of himself.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
