Empty Shoes

Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or shoes:

“Erudition. Dust shaken out of a book into an empty skull.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

“The thing to remember about fathers is, they’re men.
A girl has to keep it in mind:
They are dragon-seekers, bent on improbable rescues.
Scratch any father, you find
Someone chock-full of qualms and romantic terrors,
Believing change is a threat—
Like your first shoes with heels on, like your first bicycle
It took such months to get.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
