Famous quotes containing the words dark, knight and/or returns:
“The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.

And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.”

I summond am to a tourney
Ten leagues beyond the wide worlds end:
Methinks it is no journey.”
