Mild Severe

Famous quotes containing the words mild and/or severe:

“Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land,
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.”
—Emma Lazarus (1849–1887)

“One should not be too severe on English novels; they are the only relaxation of the intellectually unemployed.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
