Ruined

Famous quotes containing the word ruined:

    The doctor learns that if he gets ahead of the superstitions of his patients he is a ruined man; and the result is that he instinctively takes care not to get ahead of them.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    You know the worst: your wills are fickle,
    Your values blurred, your hearts impure
    And your past life a ruined church—
    But let your poison be your cure.
    Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    Study me then, you who shall lovers be
    At the next world, that is, at the next spring:
    For I am every dead thing,
    In whom love wrought new alchemy.
    For his art did express
    A quintessence even from nothingness,
    From dull privations, and lean emptiness:
    He ruined me, and I am re-begot
    Of absence, darkness, death: things which are not.
    John Donne (1572–1631)
