True

Famous quotes containing the word true:

    There’s no true drop of blood in him to be truly touched with love; if he be sad, he wants money.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Rhyme, the rack of finest wits,
    That expresseth but by fits
    True conceit,
    Spoiling senses of their treasure,
    Cozening judgment with a measure,
    But false weight;
    Wresting words from their true calling;
    Propping verse for fear of falling
    To the ground;
    Jointing syllables, drowning letters,
    Fastening vowels, as with fetters
    They were bound!
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    The true poet for me is a priest. As soon as he dons the cassock, he must leave his family.
    Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
