"Since 'Pop Idol', I've taken out some lovely lasses, but whether they are interested in me or my brief interlude with fame, I'm not sure."
View quotes by Rik Waller

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Macbeth, Act 5 Scene 5
View quotes by William Shakespeare

And the fruit of my vanity is shame, and repentance, and the clear knowledge that whatever the world finds pleasing, is but a brief dream.

There is something wrong about the man who wants help. There is somewhere a deep defect, a want, in brief, a need, a crying need, somewhere about that man.
View quotes by Herman Melville

Come leave your tears: a brief farewell.
The beast with many heads butts me away [Coriolanus]
View quotes by William Shakespeare

Every event, however brief, has to be sure a contribution to make, lights up some dark corner or even some wide vista of history.
View quotes by Fernand Braudel

After a brief visit I made to to Nepal, I started to have an insatiable love for Asian art.
View quotes by Richard Ernst

If you would be pungent, be brief; for it is with words as with sunbeams - the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn
