Faces

Famous quotes containing the word faces:

    We are close to dead. There are faces and bodies like gorged maggots on the dance floor, on the highway, in the city, in the stadium; they are a host of chemical machines who swallow the product of chemical factories, aspirin, preservatives, stimulant, relaxant, and breathe out their chemical wastes into a polluted air. The sense of a long last night over civilization is back again.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    Nothing is so discreet as a young face, for nothing is less mobile; it has the serenity, the surface smoothness, and the freshness of a lake. There is no character in women’s faces before the age of thirty.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    The path was a vague parting in the grass
    That led us to a weathered windowsill.
    We pressed our faces to the pane. “You see,” he said,
    “Everything’s as she left it when she died....”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
