Awful Truth

Famous quotes containing the words awful and/or truth:

    “Inscrutable His ways are, and immune
    To catechism by a mind too strewn
    With petty cares to slightly understand
    What awful brain compels His awful hand.
    Yet do I marvel at this curious thing;
    To make a poet black, and bid him sing!”
    —Countee Cullen (1903–1946)
