Christopher Marlowe

Quotes

• “Time passeth swift away; / Our life is frail, and we may die to-day.”

• “Hell hath no limits, nor is circumscrib’d / In one self place; but where we are is hell, / And where hell is, there must we ever be.”

• “Was this the face that launch’d a thousand ships, / And burnt the topless towers of Ilium? / Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss!”

• “Like untuned golden strings all women are, / Which long time lie untouch’d, will harshly jar. / Vessels of brass, oft handled, brightly shine.”

• “Excess of wealth is cause of covetousness.”
