Played Dates

Famous quotes containing the words played and/or dates:

    You have seen
    Sunshine and rain at once; her smiles and tears
    Were like a better way: those happy smilets
    That played on her ripe lip seemed not to know
    What guests were in her eyes, which parted thence
    As pearls from diamonds dropped.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
