Famous quotes containing the words sky and/or appearance:
“It is deep January. The sky is hard.
The stalks are firmly rooted in ice.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“What! Would you make no distinction between hypocrisy and devotion? Would you give them the same names, and respect the mask as you do the face? Would you equate artifice and sincerity? Confound appearance with truth? Regard the phantom as the very person? Value counterfeit as cash?”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
