Famous quotes containing the words veil and/or falls:
“I am afraid that old women are more skeptical in their most secret heart of hearts than any man: they believe in the superficiality of existence as in its essence, and all virtue and profundity is to them merely a veil over this “truth,” a most welcome veil over a pudendum—and so a matter of decency and modesty, and nothing else.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“If that the earth could teem with woman’s tears,
Each drop she falls would prove a crocodile.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
