Superficial Veins

Famous quotes containing the words superficial and/or veins:

    What life is best?
    Courts are but only superficial schools
    To dandle fools:
    The rural parts are turned into a den
    Of savage men:
    And where ‘s a city from all vice so free,
    But may be termed the worst of all the three?
    Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

    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)
