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)

“Education [is not] a discipline at all. Half vocational, half an emptiness dressed up in garments borrowed from philosophy, psychology, literature.”
—Edward Blishen (b. 1920)

“The flowers without clothes live,
Yet Solomon was never dressed so fine.”
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
