Famous quotes containing the words sky and/or appearance:
“Beyond all this, the wish to be alone:
However the sky grows dark with invitation-cards....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Most lovers ... picture to themselves, in their mistresses, a secret reality, beyond and different from what they see every day. They are in love with somebody else—their own invention. And sometimes there is a secret reality; and sometimes reality and appearance are the same. The discovery, in either case, is likely to cause a shock.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
