Additional quotes by Robert Browning

And what proportion love should hold with power
In his right constitution: love preceding
Power — with much power always much more love;

What I aspired to be,
And was not, comforts me.

So, I soberly laid my last plan
To extinguish the man.
Round his creep-hole, with never a break
Ran my fires for his sake;
Over-head, did my thunder combine
With my under-ground mine:
Till I looked from my labour content
To enjoy the event.

We loved, sir — used to meet: How sad and bad and mad it was — But then, how it was sweet! - Robert Browning
