Skin Tones

Famous quotes containing the words skin and/or tones:

    And even so, he’s stale, he’s been there too long.
    Touch him, and you’ll find he’s all gone inside
    just like an old mushroom, all wormy inside, and hollow
    under a smooth skin and an upright appearance.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    This was Venice, the flattering and suspect beauty—this city, half fairy tale and half tourist trap, in whose insalubrious air the arts once rankly and voluptuously blossomed, where composers have been inspired to lulling tones of somniferous eroticism.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
