Cursed

Famous quotes containing the word cursed:

“O, my offense is rank, it smells to heaven;
It hath the primal eldest curse upon ‘t,
A brother’s murder. Pray can I not,
Though inclination be as sharp as will;
My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent,
And like a man to double business bound
I stand in pause where I shall first begin,
And both neglect. What if this cursed hand
Were thicker than itself with brother’s blood,
Is there not rain enough in the sweet heavens
To wash it white as snow?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Shall gods be said to thump the clouds
When clouds are cursed by thunder,
Be said to weep when weather howls?”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

“Oh cursed corset! If I could let it out, without indecent exposure.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
