Strange

Famous quotes containing the word strange:

    Ah, did you once see Shelley plain,
    And did he stop and speak to you,
    And did you speak to him again?
    How strange it seems and new!
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    But the effort, the effort! And as the marrow is eaten out of a man’s bones and the soul out of his belly, contending with the strange rapacity of savage life, the lower stage of creation, he cannot make the effort any more.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    In faith, he is a worthy gentleman,
    Exceedingly well read, and profited
    In strange concealments, valiant as a lion,
    And wondrous affable, and as bountiful
    As mines of India.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
