Famous quotes containing the words coat of, coat and/or arms:

    “Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Essential truth, the truth of the intellectualists, the truth with no one thinking it, is like the coat that fits tho no one has ever tried it on, like the music that no ear has listened to. It is less real, not more real, than the verified article; and to attribute a superior degree of glory to it seems little more than a piece of perverse abstraction-worship.”
    —William James (1842–1910)

    “Once they came on a maple in a glade,
    Standing alone with smooth arms lifted up,
    And every leaf of foliage she’d worn
    Laid scarlet and pale pink about her feet.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
