Line Serves

Famous quotes containing the words line and/or serves:

    Gascoigne, Ben Jonson, Greville, Raleigh, Donne,
    Poets who wrote great poems, one by one,
    And spaced by many years, each line an act
    Through which few labor, which no men retract.
    This passion is the scholar’s heritage,
    Yvor Winters (1900–1968)

    Our two eyes do not make our lot better; one serves us to see the good things, the other the evils of life. A lot of people have the bad habit of closing the first, and very few close the second.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
