Larger Piece

Famous quotes containing the words larger and/or piece:

    We are all conceived in close prison; in our mothers’ wombs, we are close prisoners all; when we are born, we are born but to the liberty of the house; prisoners still, though within larger walls; and then all our life is but a going out to the place of execution, to death.
    John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

    Gloucester. O, let me kiss that hand!
    Lear. Let me wipe it first, it smells of mortality.
    Gloucester. O ruined piece of nature! This great world
    Shall so wear out to nought.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
