Awful Truth

Famous quotes containing the words awful and/or truth:

    The awful shadow of some unseen Power
    Floats though unseen among us, visiting
    This various world with as inconstant wing
    As summer winds that creep from flower to flower;
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    It was his nature to suppose,
    To receive what others had supposed, without
    Accepting. He received what he denied.
    But as truth to be accepted, he supposed
    A truth beyond all truths.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
