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)

    A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form, he is not constantly at work upon the façade of his appearance.
    Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)
