Famous quotes containing the words declared, vacant and/or april:

    “The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “Grief fills the room up of my absent child,
    Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me,
    Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words,
    Remembers me of all his gracious parts,
    Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form;
    Then have I reason to be fond of grief.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Such comfort as do lusty young men feel
    When well-apparelled April on the heel
    Of limping winter treads.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
