Famous quotes containing the word pair:

    The works of women are symbolical.
    We sew, sew, prick our fingers, dull our sight,
    Producing what? A pair of slippers, sir,
    To put on when you’re weary or a stool
    To stumble over and vex you ... “curse that stool!”
    Or else at best, a cushion, where you lean
    And sleep, and dream of something we are not,
    But would be for your sake. Alas, alas!
    This hurts most, this ... that, after all, we are paid
    The worth of our work, perhaps.
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    Here comes a pair of very strange beasts, which in all
    tongues are called fools.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    What a pair of spectacles is here!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
