Famous quotes containing the words fairy and/or pieces:

“Fierce war and faithful love,
And truth severe, by fairy fiction dressed.”
—Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

“Bees plunder the flowers here and there, but afterward they make of them honey, which is all theirs; it is no longer thyme or marjoram. Even so with the pieces borrowed from others; one will transform and blend them to make a work that is all one’s own, that is, one’s judgement. Education, work, and study aim only at forming this.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
