Flat Face

Famous quotes containing the words flat and/or face:

    I don’t like your miserable lonely single “front name.” It is so limited, so meagre; it has no versatility; it is weighted down with the sense of responsibility; it is worn threadbare with much use; it is as bad as having only one jacket and one hat; it is like having only one relation, one blood relation, in the world. Never set a child afloat on the flat sea of life with only one sail to catch the wind.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Monday’s child is fair of face,
    Tuesday’s child is full of grace,
    Wednesday’s child is full of woe,
    Thursday’s child has far to go,
    Friday’s child is loving and giving,
    Saturday’s child works for its living,
    And a child that’s born on the Sabbath day
    Is fair and wise and good and gay.
    Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. Monday’s child is fair of face (l. 1–8)
