Famous quotes containing the word gorgeous:
“Was ever book containing such vile matter
So fairly bound? O that deceit should dwell
In such a gorgeous palace!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“O, reason not the need! Our basest beggars
Are in the poorest thing superfluous.
Allow not nature more than nature needs,
Man’s life is cheap as beast’s. Thou art a lady;
If only to go warm were gorgeous,
Why, nature needs not what thou gorgeous wear’st,
Which scarcely keeps thee warm. But, for true need—
You heavens, give me that patience, patience I need!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“This new and gorgeous garment, majesty,
Sits not so easy on me as you think.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
