Hollow

Famous quotes containing the word hollow:

    “I often look upon a face
    Most ugly, grisly, bare and thin;
    I often view the hollow place,
    Where eyes and nose had sometimes been;”
    —Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)

    “Having books published is very destructive to writing. It is even worse than making love too much. Because when you make love too much at least you get a damned clarte that is like no other light. A very clear and hollow light.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “Ye could not know where lies a thing so fair,
    No stone is there to show, no tongue to say,
    What was; no dirge, except the hollow sea’s,
    Mourns o’er the beauty of the Cyclades.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
