Famous quotes containing the words rock and/or edict:
“Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand:
Come and see my shining palaces built upon the sand.”

“If then true lovers have ever been crossed
It stands as an edict in destiny.
Then let us teach our trial patience,
Because it is a customary cross,
As due to love and thoughts, and dreams, and sighs,
Wishes, and tears—poor fancy’s followers.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
