Famous quotes containing the words full, face and/or mask:
“Put shortly, these are the two views, then. One, that man is intrinsically good, spoilt by circumstance; and the other that he is intrinsically limited, but disciplined by order and tradition to something fairly decent. To the one party man’s nature is like a well, to the other like a bucket. The view which regards him like a well, a reservoir full of possibilities, I call the romantic; the one which regards him as a very finite and fixed creature, I call the classical.”
—Thomas Ernest Hulme (1883–1917)
“Like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack,
Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!”
—Claude McKay (1889–1948)
““It was the mask engaged your mind,
And after set your heart to beat,
Not what’s behind.””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
