Famous quotes containing the word tears:

    Laughter and grief join hands. Always the heart
    Clumps in the breast with heavy stride;
    The face grows lined and wrinkled like a chart,
    The eyes bloodshot with tears and tide.
    Let the wind blow, for many a man shall die.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    His tears run down his beard like winter’s drops
    From eaves of reeds.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The tears I have cried over Germany have dried. I have washed my face.
    Marlene Dietrich (1904–1992)
