Famous quotes containing the word face:

    Each of us, face to face with other men, is clothed with some sort of dignity, but we know only too well all the unspeakable things that go on in the heart.
    Luigi Pirandello (1867–1936)

    A garden has this advantage, that it makes it indifferent where you live. A well-laid garden makes the face of the country of no account; let that be low or high, grand or mean, you have made a beautiful abode worthy of man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Surely thy body is thy mind,
    For in thy face is nought to find,
    Only thy soft unchristened smile,
    That shadows neither love nor guile,
    Robert Bridges (1844–1930)
