Famous quotes containing the words hard and/or hats:
“Modernism: the books are as hard to understand as life itself.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“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)
