Hollow

Famous quotes containing the word hollow:

    Thus much for thy assurance know; a hollow friend is but a hellish foe.
    Nicholas Breton (c. 1545–1626)

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

    This Light inspires, and plays upon
    The nose of Saint like Bag-pipe drone,
    And speaks through hollow empty Soul,
    As through a Trunk, or whisp’ring hole,
    Such language as no mortal Ear
    But spiritual Eve-droppers can hear.
    Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
