Hollow

Famous quotes containing the word hollow:

    Do not put all your goods in hollow ships.
    Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)

    Ceremony was but devised at first
    To set a gloss on faint deeds, hollow welcomes,
    Recanting goodness, sorry ere ‘tis shown;
    But where there is true friendship, there needs none.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    She could give herself up to the written word as naturally as a good dancer to music or a fine swimmer to water. The only difficulty was that after finishing the last sentence she was left with a feeling at once hollow and uncomfortably full. Exactly like indigestion.
    Jean Rhys (1894–1979)
