Famous quotes containing the words hand and/or snatch:
“Another gentleman ... desired to know if I was engaged, or would honour him with my hand [to dance]. So he was pleased to say, though I am sure I know not what honour he could receive from me; but these sort of expressions, I find, are used as words of course, without any distinction of persons, or study of propriety.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“O you gods!
Why do you make us love your goodly gifts,
And snatch them straight away?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
