Blank

Famous quotes containing the word blank:

    A blank helpless sort of face, rather like a rose just before you drench it with D.D.T.
    John Carey (b. 1934)

    It will be worth it, if in the end I manage
    To blank out whatever it is that is doing the damage.
    Then there will be nothing I know.
    My mind will fold into itself, like fields, like snow.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Why it was that upon this beautiful feminine tissue, sensitive as gossamer, and practically blank as snow as yet, there should have been traced such a coarse pattern as it was doomed to receive; why so often the coarse appropriates the finer thus, the wrong man the woman, the wrong women the man, many years of analytical philosophy have failed to explain to our sense of order.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
