Highly Polished

Famous quotes containing the words highly and/or polished:

    Disdain and scorn ride sparkling in her eyes,
    Misprizing what they look on, and her wit
    Values itself so highly that to her
    All matter else seems weak.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    When Shakespeare copied chroniclers verbatim, it was because he knew they were good enough for his audiences. In a more polished age he who could so move our passions, could surely have performed the easier task of satisfying our taste.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
