Grim/people

Famous quotes containing the words grim and/or people:

“Tattoo-shops, consulates, grim head-scarfed wives;
And out beyond its mortgaged half-built edges
Fast-shadowed wheat-fields, running high as hedges,
Isolate villages, where removed lives
Loneliness clarifies. Here silence stands
Like heat. Here leaves unnoticed thicken,
Hidden weeds flower....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“I have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
