Left Face

Famous quotes containing the words left and/or face:

    Were she to lose her love, because she had lost
    Her confidence in mine, or even lose
    Its first simplicity, love, voice and all,
    All my fine feathers would be plucked away
    And I left shivering.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The face of the water, in time, became a wonderful book—a book that was a dead language to the uneducated passenger, but which told its mind to me without reserve, delivering its most cherished secrets as clearly as if it uttered them with a voice. And it was not a book to be read once and thrown aside, for it had a new story to tell every day.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
