Famous quotes containing the words russian and/or word:
“What man dare, I dare.
Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear,
The armed rhinoceros, or the Hyrcan tiger;
Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves
Shall never tremble. Or be alive again
And dare me to the desert with thy sword.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I pray for fashion’s word is out
And prayer comes round again
That I may seem, though I die old,
A foolish, passionate man.”
