Soft Paste

Famous quotes containing the words soft and/or paste:

    Though now in her old age, in her young age
    She had been beautiful in that old way
    That’s all but gone; for the proud heart is gone,
    And the fool heart of the counting-house fears all
    But soft beauty and indolent desire.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    In a thousand apparently humble ways men busy themselves to make some right take the place of some wrong,—if it is only to make a better paste blacking,—and they are themselves so much the better morally for it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
