Polite Form

Famous quotes containing the words polite and/or form:

“Genteel women suppose that those things do not really exist about which it is impossible to talk in polite company.”

“The place became full of a watchful intentness now; for when other things sank brooding to sleep the heath appeared slowly to awake and listen. Every night its Titanic form seemed to await something; but it had waited thus, unmoved, during so many centuries, through the crises of so many things, that it could only be imagined to await one last crisis—the final overthrow.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
