Famous quotes containing the word pipe:
“Pretty friendship tis to rhyme
Your friends to death before their time
Moping melancholy mad:
Come, pipe a tune to dance to, lad.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
“Blest are those
Whose blood and judgment are so well commingled
That they are not a pipe for Fortunes finger
To sound what stop she please.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“I am dead against arts being self-expression. I see an inherent failure in any story which fails to detach itself from the authordetach itself in the sense that a well-blown soap-bubble detaches itself from the bowl of the blowers pipe and spherically takes off into the air as a new, whole, pure, iridescent world. Whereas the ill-blown bubble, as children know, timidly adheres to the bowls lip, then either bursts or sinks flatly back again.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (18991973)
