Slow Fading

Famous quotes containing the words slow and/or fading:

“Young men soon give, and soon forget, affronts;
Old age is slow in both.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

“Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion’s paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger’s jaws,
And burn the long-liv’d phoenix in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet’st,
And do what’er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
