Famous quotes containing the word face:

    Coming on such an ancient human trace
    Seems as expressive of the human race
    As meeting someone living, face to face.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The moon is door. It is a face in its own right,
    White as a knuckle and terribly upset.
    It drags the sea after it like a dark crime; it is quiet
    With the O-gape of complete despair.
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    The face of “evil” is always the face of total need.
    William Burroughs (b. 1914)
