More quotes by Christopher Marlowe
Had I as many souls as there be stars, I'd give them all for Mephistopheles!
Christopher Marlowe
Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove, That valleys, groves, hills, and fields, Woods, or steepy mountain yields.
Christopher Marlowe
Faustus: Stay, Mephistopheles, and tell me, what good will my soul do thy lord? Mephistopheles: Enlarge his kingdom. Faustus: Is that the reason he tempts us thus? Mephistopheles: Solamen miseris socios habuisse doloris. (It is a comfort to the wretched to have companions in misery)
Christopher Marlowe
Where both deliberate, the love is slight: Who ever lov'd, that lov'd not at first sight?
Christopher Marlowe
... when all the world dissolves, And every creature shall be purified, All places shall be hell that are not heaven.
Christopher Marlowe
There is no sin but ignorance.
Christopher Marlowe
It is a comfort to the miserable to have comrades in misfortune, but it is a poor comfort after all.
Christopher Marlowe
I am Envy, begotten of a chimney-sweeper and an oyster-wife. I cannot read, and therefore wish all books were burnt I am lean with seeing others eat - O that there would come a famine through all the world, that all might die, and I live alone then thou should'st see how fat I would be! But must thou sit and I stand? Come down, with a vengeance!
Christopher Marlowe
Honour is purchas'd by the deeds we do.
Christopher Marlowe
Things that are not at all, are never lost.
Christopher Marlowe
Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight, And burned is Apollo's laurel bough, That sometime grew within this learned man. Faustus is gone.
Christopher Marlowe
The stars move still, time runs, the clock will strike
Christopher Marlowe
Virginity, albeit some highly prize it, Compared with marriage, had you tried them both, Differs as much as wine and water doth.
Christopher Marlowe
O, thou art fairer than the evening air clad in the beauty of a thousand stars.
Christopher Marlowe
What feeds me destroys me.
Christopher Marlowe
I'm armed with more than complete steel, - The justice of my quarrel.
Christopher Marlowe
Excess of wealth is cause of covetousness.
Christopher Marlowe
Till swollen with cunning, of a self-conceit, His waxen wings did mount above his reach, And, melting, Heavens conspir'd his overthrow.
Christopher Marlowe
Live and die in Aristotle's works.
Christopher Marlowe
Accurst be he that first invented war.
Christopher Marlowe
