Famous quotes containing the words wedlock and/or stand:
“As the ox hath his bow, sir, the horse his curb, and the
falcon her bells, so man hath his desires; and as pigeons
bill, so wedlock would be nibbling.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“But there are no fractions, the world is an integer
Like us, and like us it can neither stand wholly apart nor disappear.
When one is young it seems like a very strange and safe place,
But now that I have changed it feels merely odd, cold
And full of interest.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
