Left Face

Famous quotes containing the words left and/or face:

“I am secretly afraid of animals.... I think it is because of the usness in their eyes, with the underlying not-usness which belies it, and is so tragic a reminder of the lost age when we human beings branched off and left them: left them to eternal inarticulateness and slavery. Why? their eyes seem to ask us.”
—Edith Wharton (1862–1937)

“This face is a dog’s snout sniffing for garbage,
Snakes nest in that mouth, I hear the sibilant threat.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
