Dear

Famous quotes containing the word dear:

“Acquaintance; companion;
One dear brilliant woman;
The best-endowed, the elect,
All by their youth undone,
All, all, by that inhuman
Bitter glory wrecked.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“The bright old day now dawns again; the cry runs through the the land,
In England there shall be dear bread—in Ireland, sword and brand;
And poverty, and ignorance, shall swell the rich and grand,
So, rally round the rulers with the gentle iron hand,
Of the fine old English Tory days;
Hail to the coming time!”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

“A voice I heard—and near I yede—
In great dolour complaining tho:
‘See, dear soul, my sides bleed,
Quia amore langueo.”
—Unknown. Quia Amore Langueo (l. 5–8)
