Wood Argues

Famous quotes containing the words wood and/or argues:

“I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
When in a wood of Crete they bayed the bear
With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear
Such gallant chiding; for besides the groves,
The skies, the fountains, every region near
Seemed all one mutual cry. I never heard
So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“A wit should no more be sincere, than a woman constant; one argues a decay of parts, as t’other of beauty.”
—William Congreve (1670–1729)
