Gall Nut

Famous quotes containing the words gall and/or nut:

    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)

    In a good play every speech should be as fully flavoured as a nut or apple.
    —J.M. (John Millington)
