False Friends

Famous quotes containing the words false and/or friends:

“Description is revelation. It is not
The thing described, nor false facsimile.
It is an artificial thing that exists,
In its own seeming, plainly visible,
Yet not too closely the double of our lives,
Intenser than any actual life could be....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“It is always well to accept your own shortcomings with candor but to regard those of your friends with polite incredulity.”
—Russell Lynes (b. 1910)
