Sir Boyle Roche

Famous quotes containing the words sir and/or boyle:

    “There are a sort of men whose visages
    Do cream and mantle like a standing pond,
    And do a willful stillness entertain,
    With purpose to be dressed in an opinion
    Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit,
    As who should say, “I am Sir Oracle,
    And when I ope my lips let no dog bark!””
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Logic, reason, disease, and the menace of death, these things meant nothing at all to us. We were committed to other values by which the poet has always lived in defiance of all that society demanded of him.”
    —Kay Boyle (1903–1993)
