Famous quotes containing the word pretty:
“As in hoary winters night stood shivering in the snow,
Surprised I was with sudden heat which made my heart to glow;
And lifting up a fearful eye to view what fire was near,
A pretty Babe all burning bright did in the air appear;”

Like pretty birds into their nest,
But, overcome with whiteness there,
For grief it thawd into a tear:
Thence falling on her garments hem,
To deck her, froze into a gem.”
—William Strode (1602?1645)
“Thou wast a pretty fellow when thou hadst no need to care for her frowning; now thou art an O without a figure. I am better than thou art now; I am a fool, thou art nothing.”
