Famous quotes containing the words false and/or negatives:
“One false step can bring everlasting grief.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Tis not such lines as almost crack the stage
When Bajazet begins to rage;
Nor a tall metphor in the bombast way,
Nor the dry chips of short-lunged Seneca.
Nor upon all things to obtrude
And force some odd similitude.
What is it then, which like the power divine
We only can by negatives define?”
—Abraham Cowley (16181667)
