Hard Hats

Famous quotes containing the words hard and/or hats:

    All I have to do
    is hear his name
    and every hair on my body
    just bristles with desire.
    When I see
    the moon of his face,
    this frame of mine
    oozes sweat like a moonstone.
    When that man
    as dear to me as breath
    steps close enough to me
    to stroke my neck,
    the thought of jealousy
    is shattered in my heart
    that’s hard as diamond
    sometimes.
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    My consolation is to think of the women I have known, now that there is no longer such thing as elegance. But how can people who contemplate these horrible creatures under their hats covered in pigeon-houses or gardens, how can they understand the charm of seeing Madame Swann wearing a simple mauve cap or a small hat surmounted by a straight iris?
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
