Weaker

Famous quotes containing the word weaker:

    By weaker accents, what’s your praise
    When Philomel her voice doth raise?
    Sir Henry Wotton (1568–1639)

    But, when nothing subsists from a distant past, after the death of others, after the destruction of objects, only the senses of smell and taste, weaker but more enduring, more intangible, more persistent, more faithful, continue for a long time, like souls, to remember, to wait, to hope, on the ruins of all the rest, to bring without flinching, on their nearly impalpable droplet, the immense edifice of memory.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    I am weaker than a woman’s tear,
    Tamer than sleep, fonder than ignorance,
    Less valiant than the virgin in the night,
    And skilless as unpractised infancy.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
