Famous quotes containing the words severely and/or burnt:
“The human face is a weak guarantee; yet it deserves some consideration. And if I had to whip the wicked, I would do so more severely to those who belied and betrayed the promises that nature had implanted on their brows; I would punish malice more harshly when it was hidden under a kindly appearance.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Was this the face that launch’d a thousand ships,
And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?”
—Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
