Hideous

Famous quotes containing the word hideous:

    Vice is a creature of such hideous mien ... that the more you see it the better you like it.

    O hideous little bat, the size of snot,
    With polyhedral eye and shabby clothes,
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    I mourn the safe and motherly old middle-class queen, who held the nation warm under the fold of her big, hideous Scotch-plaid shawl and whose duration had been so extraordinarily convenient and beneficent. I felt her death much more than I should have expected; she was a sustaining symbol—and the wild waters are upon us now.
    Henry James (1843–1916)
