Famous quotes containing the word face:

    The grief of the keen is no personal complaint for the death of one woman over eighty years, but seems to contain the whole passionate rage that lurks somewhere in every native of the island. In this cry of pain the inner consciousness of the people seems to lay itself bare for an instant, and to reveal the mood of beings who feel their isolation in the face of a universe that wars on them with winds and seas.
    —J.M. (John Millington)

    The well-known old remark of Cato, who used to wonder how two soothsayers could look one another in the face without laughing.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    A cheerful intelligent face is the end of culture, and success enough. For it indicates the purpose of Nature and wisdom attained.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
