The Rover Quotes

“No friend to Love like a long voyage at sea.”
― Aphra Behn, The Rover

“Willmore: There is no sinner like a young saint.”
― Aphra Behn, The Rover

“Fantastic fortune thou deceitful light,
That cheats the weary traveler by night,
Though on a precipice each step you tread,
I am resolved to follow where you lead.”
― Aphra Behn, The Rover

“WILLMORE: Nay, if we part so, let me die like a Bird upon a Bough, at the Sheriff's Charge. By Heaven, both the Indies shall not buy thee from me. I adore thy Humour and will marry thee, and we are so of one Humour, it must be a Bargain - give me thy Hand - [Kisses her hand.] And now let the blind ones (Love and Fortune) do their worst.”
― Aphra Behn, The Rover
