Famous quotes containing the word indifferent:
“Hats have never at all been one of the vexing problems of my life, but, indifferent as I am, these render me speechless.

That quickly after the morrows dawn,
And calmly, as if indifferent quite,
You would close your term here, up and be gone”

“This perpetual round of constrained civilities to persons quite indifferent to us, is the most provoking and tiresome thing in the world, but it is unavoidable in a country town, where everybody is known.... Tis a most shocking and unworthy way of spending our precious irrecoverable time, to those who know not its value.”
—Frances Burney (17521840)
