Quality Literature

Famous quotes containing the words quality and/or literature:

“The quality of mercy is not strained.

Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes.
‘Tis mightiest in the mightiest. It becomes
The thronèd monarch better than his crown.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
