Resemblance

Famous quotes containing the word resemblance:

“Admiration. Our polite recognition of another’s resemblance to ourselves.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

“The dignified catastrophes of tragedy bear little resemblance to the slow ruin inflicted by life.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“Meanwhile the mind from pleasure less
Withdraws into its happiness;
The mind, that ocean where each kind
Does straight its own resemblance find;
Yet it creates, transcending these,
Far other worlds and other seas,
Annihilating all that’s made
To a green thought in a green shade,”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
