Superficial Veins

Famous quotes containing the words superficial and/or veins:

    Preoccupied with her self, the adolescent sees enormous changes, whereas the parent sees the child she knew all along. For the parent, new developments are superficial and evanescent. For the adolescent, they are thrilling and profound.
    Terri Apter (20th century)

    Freedom is hunting, feeding, danger;
    that, that is freedom—that it is which makes
    the veins to swell, the breast to heave and glow
    Aye, that is freedom,—that is pleasure—life!
    Marie Lovell (1803–1877)
