Famous quotes containing the words shirley and/or harold:

    “Victorious men of earth, no more
    Proclaim how wide your empires are;
    Though you bind in every shore
    And your triumphs reach as far
    As night or day,
    Yet you, proud monarchs, must obey
    And mingle with forgotten ashes, when
    Death calls ye to the crowd of common men.”
    —James Shirley (1596–1666)

    “Together, we three, until the world crumbles and there is no longer a stone or a rock or a tree or a blade of grass.”
    —Griffin Jay, and Harold Young. Mehemet Bey (Turhan Bey)
