Famous quotes containing the words face and/or cards:
“One may draw a dragon or a tiger, but it is hard to draw their skeletons; one may know a person’s face but it is hard to know his heart.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Out in Hollywood, where the streets are paved with Goldwyn, the word “sophisticate” means, very simply, “obscene.” A sophisticated story is a dirty story. Some of that meaning was wafted eastward and got itself mixed up into the present definition. So that a “sophisticate” means: one who dwells in a tower made of a DuPont substitute for ivory and holds a glass of flat champagne in one hand and an album of dirty post cards in the other.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
