Famous quotes containing the words space and/or suits:

    I would have broke mine eye-strings, cracked them, but
    To look upon him, till the diminution
    Of space had pointed him sharp as my needle;
    Nay, followed him till he had melted from
    The smallness of a gnat to air, and then
    Have turned mine eye and wept.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    They are actions that a man might play,
    But I have that within which passes show,
    These but the trappings and the suits of woe.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
