Memorable Lines
Perhaps referencing Goldsmith's own experiences abroad busking across Europe after barely eking out a college degree, the play includes these lines:

- With grammar, and nonsense, and learning.
- Good liquor, I stoutly maintain,
- Gives genius a better discerning.

Famous quotes containing the words memorable and/or lines:
“His more memorable passages are as naturally bright as gleams of sunshine in misty weather. Nature furnishes him not only with words, but with stereotyped lines and sentences from her mint.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I struck the board, and cried, “No more.
I will abroad.”
What? Shall I ever sigh and pine?
My lines and life are free; free as the road,
Loose as the wind, as large as store.
Shall I be still in suit?”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
