Revolt

Famous quotes containing the word revolt:

“O sovereign mistress of true melancholy,
The poisonous damp of night disponge upon me,
That life, a very rebel to my will,
May hang no longer on me. Throw my heart
Against the flint and hardness of my fault,
Which, being dried with grief, will break to powder
And finish all foul thoughts. O Antony,
Nobler than my revolt is infamous,
Forgive me in thine own particular,
But let the world rank me in register
A master-leaver and a fugitive.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“When obedience is so impious, revolt is a necessity.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

“I will weep for thee,
For this revolt of thine methinks is like
Another fall of man.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
