Worst

Famous quotes containing the word worst:

    “The worst and best are both inclined
    To snap like vixens at the truth.
    But, O, beware the middle mind
    That purrs and never shows a tooth!”
    —Elinor Wylie (1885–1928)

    “To be worst,
    The lowest and most dejected thing of fortune,
    Stands still in esperance, lives not in fear.
    The lamentable change is from the best;
    The worst returns to laughter. Welcome, then,
    Thou unsubstantial air that I embrace!
    The wretch that thou hast blown unto the worst
    Owes nothing to thy blasts.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The worst sin that can be committed against the artist is to take him at his word, to see in his work a fulfillment instead of an horizon.”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)
