Point Shirley

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or shirley:

“A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight and understanding.”

“The glories of our blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial things;
There is no armour against fate;
Death lays his icy hand on kings:
Sceptre and crown
Must tumble down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade.”
—James Shirley (1596–1666)
