Famous quotes containing the words styles and/or honours:

“There are only two styles of portrait painting; the serious and the smirk.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

“Come hither, all ye empty things,
Ye bubbles rais’d by breath of Kings;
Who float upon the tide of state,
Come hither, and behold your fate.
Let pride be taught by this rebuke,
How very mean a thing’s a Duke;
From all his ill-got honours flung,
Turn’d to that dirt from whence he sprung.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
