Famous quotes containing the words straw and/or imitation:
“Through tattered clothes great vices do appear;
Robes and furred gowns hide all. Place sin with gold,
And the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks:
Arm it in rags, a pigmy’s straw does pierce it.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Nature is commonplace. Imitation is more interesting.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
