Famous quotes containing the words leather and/or gloves:
“Cant is always rather nauseating; but before we condemn political hypocrisy, let us remember that it is the tribute paid by men of leather to men of God, and that the acting of the part of someone better than oneself may actually commit one to a course of behaviour perceptibly less evil than what would be normal and natural in an avowed cynic.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“I saw her hand, she has a leathern hand,
A freestone-colored hand. I verily did think
That her old gloves were on, but ‘twas her hands.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
