Dear

Famous quotes containing the word dear:

“Life every man holds dear, but the dear man
Holds honor far more precious-dear than life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Ah my dear angry Lord,
Since thou dost love, yet strike;
Cast down, yet help afford;
Sure I will do the like.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)

“Grovelling,
intimate words,
heart-stealing flattery,
a tight embrace
of my thinner-than-thin body,
violent kisses all over—
obviously,
getting angry is worth the risk,
but even still,
I’m not interested.
My lover
is dear to my heart,
so how could I be like that
on purpose?”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
