Famous quotes containing the word dresses:
“The mark of the man of the world is absence of pretension. He does not make a speech; he takes a low business-tone, avoids all brag, is nobody, dresses plainly, promises not at all, performs much, speaks in monosyllables, hugs his fact. He calls his employment by its lowest name, and so takes from evil tongues their sharpest weapon. His conversation clings to the weather and the news, yet he allows himself to be surprised into thought, and the unlocking of his learning and philosophy.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“He who observes etiquette but objects to lying is like someone who dresses fashionably but wears no vest.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“One who dresses in rags that have been washed clean dresses cleanly to be sure, but raggedly nonetheless.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
