Glass

Famous quotes containing the word glass:

“Nor do I try to keep a garden, only
An avocado in a glass of water—”

“Or your liquors seep to me, in this glass capsule,
Dulling and stilling.

But colourless. Colourless.”

“They are, as it were, train-bearers in the pageant of life, and hold a glass up to humanity, frailer than itself. We see ourselves at second-hand in them: they show us all that we are, all that we wish to be, and all that we dread to be.... What brings the resemblance nearer is, that, as they imitate us, we, in our turn, imitate them.... There is no class of society whom so many persons regard with affection as actors.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
