Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or shoes:
“Virtue is beauty, but the beauteous evil.
Are empty trunks o’erflourished by the devil.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“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)
