Famous quotes containing the words meagre, set and/or game:
“All earth was but one thought—and that was death,
Immediate and inglorious; and the pang
Of famine fed upon all entrails—men
Died, and their bones were tombless as their flesh;
The meagre by the meagre were devour’d,”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“I do not set my life at a pin’s fee,
And for my soul, what can it do to that,
Being a thing immortal as itself?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Truth is the cry of all, but the game of few.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
