Rouse

Famous quotes containing the word rouse:

“I have almost forgot the taste of fears.
The time has been, my senses would have cooled
To hear a night-shriek, and my fell of hair
Would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir
As life were in’t. I have supped full with horrors;
Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts,
Cannot once start me.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“O, the blood more stirs
To rouse a lion than to start a hare!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“You would rouse to anger a heart of stone.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
