Famous quotes containing the word tear:

    “Let us roll all our strength, and all
    Our sweetness, up into one ball:
    And tear our pleasures with rough strife,
    Thorough the iron gates of life.
    Thus, though we cannot make our sun
    Stand still, yet we will make him run.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    “She’s loose! She’ll tear the roof off!”
    —Mark Hanna, and Nathan Hertz. Nurse (Eileen Stevens)

    “The brown waves of fog toss up to me
    Twisted faces from the bottom of the street,
    And tear from a passer-by with muddy skirts
    An aimless smile that hovers in the air
    And vanishes along the level of the roofs.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
