Rhymes Quotes (page 2)

Who will believe my verse in time to come, If it were fill'd with your most high deserts? Though yet, heaven knows, it is but as a tomb Which hides your life and shows not half your parts. If I could write the beauty of your eyes And in fresh numbers number all your graces, The age to come would say 'This poet lies: Such heavenly touches ne'er touch'd earthly faces.' So should my papers yellow'd with their age Be scorn'd like old men of less truth than tongue, And your true rights be term'd a... William Shakespeare
When people say, "I've told you fifty times," / They mean to scold, and very often do; / When poets say, "I've written fifty rhymes," / They make you dread that they 'II recite them too; In gangs of fifty, thieves commit their crimes; / At fifty love for love is rare, 't is true, / But then, no doubt, it equally as true is, / A good deal may be bought for fifty Louis. George Byron
To ransom one lost moment with a rhyme! Or if fate and grudging gods demure, To clutch Life's hair, and thrust one naked phrase. Like a lean knife between the ribs of time. Alfred Douglas
Ice T quote: "I don't rhyme about guns I ain't shot. Hoes I ain't caught. Or..."
I don't rhyme about guns I ain't shot. Hoes I ain't caught. Or shit I ain't bought. Ice T
Common bread, miraculous bread, sacramental bread-these three are distinct, but not to be separated. Divine reality is like a fugue. All His acts are different, but they all rhyme and echo to one another. It is this that makes Christianity so difficult to talk about. C. S. Lewis
Sophocles quote: "Once in a lifetime. The longed-for tidal wave. Of justice can..."
Once in a lifetime. The longed-for tidal wave. Of justice can rise up, And hope and history rhyme. Sophocles
Life is a gift that must be given back and joy should arise from its possesion. It's too damn short and that's a fact. Hard to accept this earthly procession to final darkness is a journey done, circle completed, work of art sublime, a sweet melodic rhyme. A battle won. The Book of Counted Sorrows. Dean Koontz
I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity. Gilda Radner
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "I invented that little rhyme about 'One Ring to rule them..."
I invented that little rhyme about 'One Ring to rule them all', I remember, in the bath one day. J. R. R. Tolkien
Did you know that there is no exact rhyme in the Russian language for the word 'pravda'? Ponder and weigh this insufficiency in your mind. Doesn't that just echo down the canyons of your soul? Julian Barnes
Unless the object of the singer’s affection is a vampire, surely what Hart means is unphotogenic. Only vampires are unphotographable, but affectionate ‘-enic’ rhymes are hard to come by. Stephen Sondheim
So Tristram looked on Iseult face to faceand knew not, and she knew not. The last time --The last that should be told in any rhyme. Heard anywhere on mouths of singing men. That ever should sing praise of them again; The last hour of their hurtless hearts at rest, The last that peace should touch them, breast to breast, The last that sorrow far from them should sit, This last was with them, and they knew not it. Algernon Charles Swinburne
Darkling I listen; and, for many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death, Call'd him soft names in many a musd rhyme, To take into the air my quiet breath; Now more than ever seems it rich to die, To cease upon the midnight with no pain, While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad In such an ecstasy! John Keats
Zora Neale Hurston quote: "Long before the year was up, Janie noticed that her husband..."
Long before the year was up, Janie noticed that her husband had stopped talkin to he rin rhymes. Zora Neale Hurston
A band called Drake is playing. The lead singer wears a long robe. He chants into the microphone in an ominous, froggy voice: "Dost thou leave me with such a myth / Falling into the abyss." I admire his rhyming scheme, but it would be much better if he has a lisp -- "the abyth." (Jonathan Ames, Middle-American Gothic) Dave Eggers
