Cursed Seal

Famous quotes containing the words cursed and/or seal:

    My first few weeks in America are always miserable, because the tastes I am cursed with are all of a kind that cannot be gratified here, & I am not enough in sympathy with our “gros public” to make up for the lack on the aesthetic side. One’s friends are delightful; but we are none of us Americans, we don’t think or feel as the Americans do, we are the wretched exotics produced in a European glass-house, the most déplacé & useless class on earth!
    Edith Wharton (1862–1937)

    Eyes, look your last.
    Arms, take your last embrace, and lips, O you
    The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss
    A dateless bargain to engrossing death.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
