Dressed

Famous quotes containing the word dressed:

    A slight digression: that bit about my mother was a deliberate lie. In reality, she was a woman of the people, simple and coarse, sordidly dressed in a kind of blouse hanging loose at the waist. I could, of course, have crossed it out, but I purposely leave it there as a sample of one of my essential traits: my light-hearted, inspired lying.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    Better dressed and stacking birch,
    or lost with the Faithful at Church—
    anywhere, but somewhere else!
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    I have heard with admiring submission the experience of the lady who declared that the sense of being perfectly well dressed gives a feeling of inward tranquility which religion is powerless to bestow.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
