Shallow

Famous quotes containing the word shallow:

    “A little learning is a dang’rous thing;
    Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
    There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
    And drinking largely sobers us again.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “Trench stinks of shallow buried dead
    Where Tom stands at the periscope,
    Tired out. After nine months he’s shed
    All fear, all faith, all hate, all hope.”
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    “Eternal smiles his emptiness betray,
    As shallow streams run dimpling all the way.”
