Mandrake Move

Famous quotes containing the words mandrake and/or move:

    Go, and catch a falling star,
    Get with child a mandrake root,
    Tell me, where all past years are,
    Or who cleft the devil’s foot,
    Teach me to her mermaids singing,
    Or to keep off envy’s stinging,
    And find
    What wind
    Serves to advance an honest mind.
    John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

    I would like to spare the time and effort of hack reviewers—and, generally, persons who move their lips when reading.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
