Awful Truth

Famous quotes containing the words awful and/or truth:

    Floats though unseen among us, visiting
    This various world with as inconstant wing
    As summer winds that creep from flower to flower;”

    “For want of me the world’s course will not fail:
    When all its work is done, the lie shall rot;
    The truth is great, and shall prevail,
    When none cares whether it prevail or not.”
