Famous quotes containing the words twin and/or towers:

    “That Dali is really Norman Rockwell’s twin brother kidnapped by gypsies in babyhood.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “Was this the face that launched a thousand ships,
    And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?
    Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss.—
    Her lips suck forth my soul; see where it flies!—
    Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again.
    Here will I dwell, for heaven be in these lips,
    And all is dross that is not Helena.”
    —Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
