Sir Richard Fanshawe

Famous quotes containing the words richard fanshawe, sir and/or richard:

    If thee thy brittle beauty so deceives,
    Know then the thing that swells thee is thy bane;
    For the same beauty doth, in bloody leaves.
    The sentence of thy early death contain.
    —Sir Richard Fanshawe (1608–1666)

    Dug from the tomb of taste-refining time,
    Each form is exquisite, each block sublime.
    Or good, or bad,—disfigur’d, or deprav’d,—
    All art, is at its resurrection sav’d;
    All crown’d with glory in the critic’s heav’n,
    Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.
    Martin Archer, Sir Shee (1769–1850)

    I am the sanest man who ever lived. But I will not be tortured. I tear torture out of myself by torturing you.
    David Boehm, and Louis Friedlander. Dr. Richard Vollin (Bela Lugosi)
