Gall Ink

Famous quotes containing the words gall and/or ink:

    Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs,
    Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes,
    Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers’ tears.
    What is it else? A madness most discreet,
    A choking gall and a preserving sweet.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Paper is soft and ink is fluid; it might be better if some pages of this chronicle could be written on chips of granite at the point of steel.
    E. M. Almedingen (b. 1898–?)
