Hell Bank Notes

Famous quotes containing the words hell, bank and/or notes:

    His firm stanzas hang like hives in hell
    Or what hell was, since now both heaven and hell
    Are one, and here, O terra infidel.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Good resolutions are useless attempts to interfere with scientific laws. Their origin is pure vanity. Their result is absolutely nil. They give us, now and then, some of those luxurious sterile emotions that have a certain charm for the weak.... They are simply cheques that men draw on a bank where they have no account.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    The soft complaining FLUTE
    In dying Notes discovers
    The Woes of hopeless Lovers,
    Whose Dirge is whisper’d by the warbling LUTE.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)
