Dear

Famous quotes containing the word dear:

    So Lycidas sunk low, but mounted high
    Through the dear might of him that walk’d the waves,
    Where other groves and other streams along
    With nectar pure his oozy locks he laves
    And hears the unexpressive nuptial song
    In the bless’d kingdoms meek of joy and love.
    There entertain him all the saints above
    In solemn troops and sweet societies,
    That sing, and singing in their glory move,
    And wipe the tears for ever from his eyes.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    My dear Mrs. Reed, sometimes in my profession there comes a contest of wills between the doctor and his patient. The patients are clever. Oh, very clever. And they can fool the doctor. Sometimes.
    Dewitt Bodeen (1908–1988)

    List, list, O list!
    If thou didst ever thy dear father love—
    ...
    Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder.
    ...
    Murder most foul, as in the best it is,
    But this most foul, strange, and unnatural.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
