Famous quotes containing the word deeper:
“It is only the superficial qualities that last. Mans deeper nature is soon found out.”
—Oscar Wilde (18541900)
“... I was crying partly because I felt that this was expected of me, partly from genuine repentance, but partly also because of a deeper grief which is peculiar to childhood and not easy to convey: a sense of desolate loneliness and helplessness, of being locked up not only in a hostile world but in a world of good and evil where the rules were such that it was actually not possible for me to keep them.”
—George Orwell (19031950)
“But misery still delights to trace
Its semblance in anothers case.
No voice divine the storm allayd,
No light propitious shone;
When, snatchd from all effectual aid,
We perishd, each alone:
But I beneath a rougher sea,
And whelmd in deeper gulphs than he.”
—William Cowper (17311800)
