White Eye Patch

Famous quotes containing the words white, eye and/or patch:

    “A decent chap, a real good sort,
    Straight as a die, one of the best,
    A brick, a trump, a proper sport,
    Head and shoulders above the rest;
    How many lives would have been duller
    Had he not been here below?
    Here’s to the whitest man I know
    Though white is not my favourite colour.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Every age has a keyhole to which its eye is pasted.”
    —Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

    “I sing a hero’s head, large eye
    And bearded bronze, but not a man,

    Although I patch him as I can
    And reach through him almost to man.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
