White Hats

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or hats:

    Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
    Bible: Hebrew Isaiah, 1:18.

    My consolation is to think of the women I have known, now that there is no longer such thing as elegance. But how can people who contemplate these horrible creatures under their hats covered in pigeon-houses or gardens, how can they understand the charm of seeing Madame Swann wearing a simple mauve cap or a small hat surmounted by a straight iris?
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
