Famous quotes containing the word face:

    When my face turned toward his,
    I averted it
    and looked at my feet.
    When my ears clamored
    to hear his talk,
    I stopped them.
    When my cheeks broke out
    in sweat and goosebumps,
    I covered them with my hands.
    But Friends,
    when the seams of my bodice
    burst in a hundred places,
    what could I do?
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    And now the end is near
    And so I face the final curtain,
    I’ll state my case of which I’m certain.
    I’ve lived a life that’s full, I traveled each and ev’ry highway,
    And more, much more than this. I did it my way.
    Frank Sinatra (b. 1915)

    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)
