Famous quotes containing the words john and/or montagu:

    “Oh for some honest lover’s ghost,
    Some kind unbodied post
    Sent from the shades below!
    I strangely long to know
    Whether the nobler chaplets wear
    Those that their mistress’ scorn did bear,
    Or those that were used kindly.”
    —Sir John Suckling (1609–1642)

    “A man that is ashamed of passions that are natural and reasonable is generally proud of those that are shameful and silly.”
    —Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)
