Hollow

Famous quotes containing the word hollow:

    And now the winter sea:
    Within her hollow rind
    What sleek facility
    Of sea-conceited scop
    To plumb the nether mind!
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    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.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    In the hollow Lotos land to live and lie reclined
    On the hills like Gods together, careless of mankind.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
