Trick

Famous quotes containing the word trick:

    If thou must love me, let it be for nought
    Except for love’s sake only. Do not say
    “I love her for her smile—her look—her way
    Of speaking gently,—for a trick of thought
    That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
    A sense of pleasant ease on such a day”—
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    It is not possible either to trick or escape the mind of Zeus.
    Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)

    Nor let his Love enchant your generous Mind;
    ‘Tis Natures trick to propagate her Kind.
    Our fond Begetters, who would never die,
    Love but themselves in their Posterity.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)
