Famous quotes containing the word face:

    Right, like a well-done sum.
    A clean slate, with your own face on.
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-browed night.
    Give me my Romeo, and when I shall die,
    Take him and cut him out in little stars
    And he will make the face of heaven so fine
    That all the world will be in love with night,
    And pay no worship to the garish sun.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    But what is Hope? Nothing but the paint on the face of Existence; the least touch of truth rubs it off, and then we see what a hollow-cheeked harlot we have got hold of.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
