Hollow

Famous quotes containing the word hollow:

    Just so hollow and ineffectual, for the most part, is our ordinary conversation. Surface meets surface. When our life ceases to be inward and private, conversation degenerates into mere gossip.

    We are the hollow men
    We are the stuffed men
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
