Famous quotes containing the words captivity and/or book:
“Had it pleased heaven
To try me with affliction, had they rained
All kind of sores and shames on my bare head,
Steeped me in poverty to the very lips,
Given to captivity me and my utmost hopes,
I should have found in some place of my soul
A drop of patience.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“That book is good
Which puts me in a working mood.
Unless to Thought be added Will
Apollo is an imbecile.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
