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)

    Ingratitude, thou marble-hearted fiend,
    More hideous when thou show’st thee in a child
    Than the sea-monster.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Rationalists are admirable beings, rationalism is a hideous monster when it claims for itself omnipotence. Attribution of omnipotence to reason is as bad a piece of idolatry as is worship of stock and stone believing it to be God. I plead not for the suppression of reason, but for a due recognition of that in us which sanctifies reason.
    Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948)
