Served

Famous quotes containing the word served:

“It was the most wild and desolate region we had camped in, where, if anywhere, one might expect to meet with befitting inhabitants, but I heard only the squeak of a nighthawk flitting over. The moon in her first quarter, in the fore part of the night, setting over the bare rocky hills garnished with tall, charred, and hollow stumps or shells of trees, served to reveal the desolation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“He has served me too well; by increasing my power he has stolen it away: he is now my subject only so long as he pleases.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

“Why, my cheese, my digestion, why hast thou not served thyself in to my table, so many meals?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
