Famous quotes containing the word smooth:

    Nations are possessed with an insane ambition to perpetuate the memory of themselves by the amount of hammered stone they leave. What if equal pains were taken to smooth and polish their manners?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We are born with luck
    which is to say with gold in our mouth.
    As new and smooth as a grape,
    as pure as a pond in Alaska,
    as good as the stem of a green bean
    we are born and that ought to be enough....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    There are acacias, a graceful species amusingly devitalized by sentimentality, this kind drooping its leaves with the grace of a young widow bowed in controllable grief, this one obscuring them with a smooth silver as of placid tears. They please, like the minor French novelists of the eighteenth century, by suggesting a universe in which nothing cuts deep.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)
