Hollow Charge

Famous quotes containing the words hollow and/or charge:

    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)

    Carlyle must undoubtedly plead guilty to the charge of mannerism. He not only has his vein, but his peculiar manner of working it. He has a style which can be imitated, and sometimes is an imitator of himself.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
