Pure Fool

Famous quotes containing the words pure and/or fool:

“So the soul, that drop, that ray
Of the clear fountain of eternal day,
Could it within the human flower be seen,
Remembering still its former height,
Shuns the sweet leaves and blossoms green;
And, recollecting its own light,
Does, in its pure and circling thoughts, express
The greater heaven in an heaven less.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

“That’s what a man wants in a wife, mostly; he wants to make sure o’ one fool as ‘ull tell him he’s wise.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
