Famous quotes containing the words greeting and/or gestures:
“But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.”
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 1:29.
“Love, love, love—all the wretched cant of it, masking egotism, lust, masochism, fantasy under a mythology of sentimental postures, a welter of self-induced miseries and joys, blinding and masking the essential personalities in the frozen gestures of courtship, in the kissing and the dating and the desire, the compliments and the quarrels which vivify its barrenness.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
