Famous quotes containing the words face and/or shields:
“He ... had a face like a blessing.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
“A man who publishes his letters becomes a nudist—nothing shields him from the world’s gaze except his bare skin. A writer, writing away, can always fix himself up to make himself more presentable, but a man who has written a letter is stuck with it for all time.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
