Superficial Veins

Famous quotes containing the words superficial and/or veins:

    Sanity consists in not being subdued by your means. Fancy prices are paid for position, and for the culture of talent, but to the grand interests, superficial success is of no account.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    More than I, if truth were told,
    Have stood and sweated hot and cold,
    And through their veins in ice and fire
    Fear contended with desire.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
