Sustaining Grace

Famous quotes containing the words sustaining and/or grace:

    “Why, he was met even now
    As mad as the vexed sea, singing aloud,
    Crowned with rank fumiter and furrow-weeds,
    With hardocks, hemlock, nettles, cuckoo-flowers,
    Darnel, and all the idle weeds that grow
    In our sustaining corn.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “It’s nothing to be born ugly. Sensibly, the ugly woman comes to terms with her ugliness and exploits it as a grace of nature. To become ugly means the beginning of a calamity, self-willed most of the time.”
    —Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
