Famous quotes containing the word gorgeous:
“Even in a reeling world
as great as this,
teeming with thousands
of gorgeous women,
nothing at all resembles
her right half
save for her left.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air.
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself—
Yea, all which it inherit—shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“This new and gorgeous garment, majesty,
Sits not so easy on me as you think.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
