Famous quotes containing the word dark:

    and as you read

    its dark pages.

    Lovers of horses and of women, shall
    From marble of a broken sepulchre
    Or dark betwixt the polecat and the owl,
    Or any rich, dark nothing disinter
    The workman, noble and saint, and all things run
    On that fashionable gyre again.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    If any personal description of me is thought desirable, it may be said, I am, in height, six feet, four inches, nearly; lean in flesh, weighing, on an average, one hundred and eighty pounds; dark complexion, with course black hair, and grey eyes—no other marks or brands recollected.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
