Strange

Famous quotes containing the word strange:

    He was wont to speak plain and to the purpose, like an honest man and a soldier, and now is he turned orthography; his words are a very fantastical banquet, just so many strange dishes.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The shades of night were falling fast,
    As through an Alpine village passed
    A youth, who bore, ‘mid snow and ice,
    A banner with the strange device,
    Excelsior!
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    Now could I, Casca, name to thee a man
    Most like this dreadful night,
    That thunders, lightens, opens graves, and roars
    As doth the lion in the Capitol—
    A man no mightier than thyself or me
    In personal action, yet prodigious grown
    And fearful, as these strange eruptions are.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
