Famous quotes containing the word hide:
“Autumn hath all the summers fruitful treasure;
Gone is our sport, fled is poor Croydons pleasure.
Short days, sharp days, long nights come on apace,
Ah! who shall hide us from the winters face?
Cold doth increase, the sickness will not cease,
And here we lie, God knows, with little ease.
From winter, plague, and pestilence, good Lord, deliver us!”
—Thomas Nashe (15671601)
“A cultivated style would be like a mask. Everybody knows its a mask, and sooner or later you must show yourselfor at least, you show yourself as someone who could not afford to show himself, and so created something to hide behind.... You do not create a style. You work, and develop yourself; your style is an emanation from your own being.”
—Katherine Anne Porter (18901980)
“Banality is a symptom of non-communication. Men hide behind their clichés.”
