Russian Saying

Famous quotes containing the word russian:

    What man dare, I dare.
    Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear,
    The armed rhinoceros, or the Hyrcan tiger;
    Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves
    Shall never tremble. Or be alive again
    And dare me to the desert with thy sword.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Grishkin is nice: her Russian eye
    Is underlined for emphasis;
    Uncorseted, her friendly lust
    Gives promise of pneumatic bliss.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
