Famous quotes containing the words mistress and/or quickly:

    “O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
    O stay and hear, your true love’s coming,
    That can sing both high and low.
    Trip no further, pretty sweeting.
    Journeys end in lovers meeting,
    Every wise man’s son doth know.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Because one has little fear of shocking vanity in Italy, people adopt an intimate tone very quickly and discuss personal things.”
