Hat Worn

Famous quotes containing the words hat and/or worn:

    The doctor of Geneva stamped the sand
    That lay impounding the Pacific swell,
    Patted his stove-pipe hat and tugged his shawl.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    When the first-rate author wants an exquisite heroine or a lovely morning, he finds that all the superlatives have been worn shoddy by his inferiors. It should be a rule that bad writers must start with plain heroines and ordinary mornings, and, if they are able, work up to something better.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
