Special Leave

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or leave:

    Nature is a setting that fits equally well a comic or a mourning piece. In good health, the air is a cordial of incredible virtue. Crossing a bare common, in snow puddles, at twilight, under a clouded sky, without having in my thoughts any occurrence of special good fortune, I have enjoyed a perfect exhilaration. I am glad to the brink of fear.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest—
    For Brutus is an honorable man;
    So are they all, all honorable men -
    Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
