Famous quotes containing the words word and/or length:
“What studied torments, tyrant, hast for me?
What wheels, racks, fires? What flaying, boiling
In leads or oils? What old or newer torture
Must I receive, whose every word deserves
To taste of thy most worst?”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Oft have I mused, but now at length I find,
Why those that die, men say they do depart.”
