Awful Truth

Famous quotes containing the words awful and/or truth:

    His awful skin
    stretched out by some tradesman
    is like my skin, here between my fingers,
    a kind of webbing, a kind of frog.
    Surely when first born my face was this tiny
    and before I was born surely I could fly.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    When we do not know the truth of a thing, it is of advantage that there should exist a common error which determines the mind of man.... For the chief malady of man is restless curiosity about things which he cannot understand; and it is not so bad for him to be in error as to be curious to no purpose.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
