Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or shoes:
“Fact I know; and Law I know; but what is this Necessity, save an empty shadow of my own mind’s throwing?”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“The thing to remember about fathers is, they’re men.
A girl has to keep it in mind:
They are dragon-seekers, bent on improbable rescues.
Scratch any father, you find
Someone chock-full of qualms and romantic terrors,
Believing change is a threat—
Like your first shoes with heels on, like your first bicycle
It took such months to get.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
