Famous quotes containing the word wink:

    “Nor do they trust their tongue alone,
    But speak a language of their own;
    Can read a nod, a shrug, a look,
    Far better than a printed book;
    Convey a libel in a frown,
    And wink a reputation down.”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    “Stars, hide your fires;
    Let not light see my black and deep desires!
    The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be
    Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “And yet this great wink of eternity,”
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)
