Famous quotes containing the word maudlin:

    It is a maudlin and indecent verity that comes out through the strength of wine.
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    I could isolate, consciously, little. Everything seemed blurred, yellow-clouded, yielding nothing tangible. Her inept acrostics, maudlin evasions, theopathies—every recollection formed ripples of mysterious meaning. Everything seemed yellowly blurred, illusive, lost.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
