Pursue

Famous quotes containing the word pursue:

    O, when mine eyes did see Olivia first,
    Methought she purged the air of pestilence;
    That instant was I turned into a hart,
    And my desires, like fell and cruel hounds,
    E’er since pursue me.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The rich man goes out yachting,
    Where sanctity can’t pursue him;
    The poor goes afloat
    In a fourpenny boat,
    Where the bishop groans to view him.
    Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)

    I consider it equal injustice to set our heart against natural pleasures and to set our heart too much on them. We should neither pursue them, nor flee them; we should accept them.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
