Famous quotes containing the word profile:

    Nature centres into balls,
    And her proud ephemerals,
    Fast to surface and outside,
    Scan the profile of the sphere;
    Knew they what that signified,
    A new genesis were here.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Expecting rain, the profile of a day
    Wears its soul like a hat....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Actor: Electrician, a little more this way with that spotlight. What are you trying to do, ruin my profile?
    Electrician: Your profile was ruined the day you were born.
    James Gleason (1886–1959)
