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 womens faces before the age of thirty.”
—HonorĂ© De Balzac (17991850)
“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,
Everythings as she left it when she died....”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
