Donne Wrote

Famous quotes containing the words donne and/or wrote:

    Stay, O sweet, and do not rise;
    The light that shines comes from thine eyes;
    The day breaks not, it is my heart,
    Because that you and I must part.
    —John Donne (1572–1631)

    Somerset Maugham ... wrote somewhere that “Nobody is any better than he ought to be.”... I carried it along with me as a working philosophy, but I suppose that finally I would have to take exception to the thought ... or else the universe is just an elaborate clock.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
