Dressed

Famous quotes containing the word dressed:

    Contentment even protects against colds. Has any woman who knew herself to be well dressed ever caught a cold?—I am assuming that she was barely dressed.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Long ago
    there was a strange deception:
    a wolf dressed in frills,
    a kind of transvestite.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    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)
