Hideous

Famous quotes containing the word hideous:

    Death, thou wast once an uncouth hideous thing,
    Nothing but bones,
    The sad effect of sadder grones;
    Thy mouth was open, but thou couldst not sing.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    There is one, and only one, thing in modern society more hideous than crime—namely, repressive justice.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    Only the gaunt fierce bird
    Flies, merciless with fear
    Lest air hold him not,
    Beats up the scaffold of space
    Sick of the world’s rot
    God’s hideous face.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
