Rouse

Famous quotes containing the word rouse:

    What seems to me the highest and the most difficult achievement of Art is not to make us laugh or cry, or to rouse our lust or our anger, but to do as nature does—that is, fill us with wonderment.
    Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)

    This day is called the Feast of Crispian.
    He that outlives this day and comes safe home
    Will stand a-tiptoe when this day is nam’d
    And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
    He that shall live this day, and see old age,
    Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours
    And say, “Tomorrow is Saint Crispian.”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

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