Quarles Van Ufford

Famous quotes containing the words quarles and/or van:

    Like to the Artick needle, that doth guide
    The wand’ring shade by his magnetick pow’r,
    And leaves his silken Gnomon to decide
    The question of the controverted houre;
    —Francis Quarles (1592–1644)

    Mrs. Van Daan’s grizzling is absolutely unbearable; now she can’t any longer drive us crazy over the invasion, she nags us the whole day long about the bad weather. It really would be nice to dump her in a bucket of cold water and put her up in the loft.
    Anne Frank (1929–1945)
