Careless

Famous quotes containing the word careless:

“There is a sort of homely truth and naturalness in some books which is very rare to find, and yet looks cheap enough. There may be nothing lofty in the sentiment, or fine in the expression, but it is careless country talk. Homeliness is almost as great a merit in a book as in a house, if the reader would abide there. It is next to beauty, and a very high art. Some have this merit only.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Be careless in your dress if you must, but keep a tidy soul.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“Above all, he possessed a hearty good-will to all men, and never wrote a cross or even careless word.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
