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)

    Sir Joshua would have been glad to take her portrait; and he would have had an easier task than the historian at least in this, that he would not have had to represent the truth of change—only to give stability to one beautiful moment.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
